A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with chunky, geometric construction and sharply faceted corners. Strokes stay consistently heavy with minimal modulation, while terminals often end in clipped, knife-like angles that create a cut-paper or chiseled silhouette. Counters are mostly rectangular and tight, and many joins show deliberate nicks and slight misalignments, producing an intentionally roughened rhythm. Lowercase forms echo the uppercase geometry with a tall x-height feel and simplified bowls, maintaining a rigid vertical presence across text.
Best suited to display settings where its sharp texture and compact width can create impact: posters, headlines, music or nightlife graphics, game titles, and bold branding moments. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a gritty, industrial voice is desired, but the angular detailing favors larger sizes and shorter runs of text.
The overall tone is aggressive and graphic, with a DIY, street-poster energy. Its jagged detailing and angular stance suggest rebellious, industrial, and slightly menacing moods—more “hand-made” than polished corporate.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space while adding a distinctive cut, fractured texture. The consistent heavy strokes and rectilinear counters prioritize strong silhouette recognition, with the jagged terminals providing character and attitude for attention-grabbing display typography.
The design’s deliberate irregularities (small notches, uneven corners, and occasional asymmetry) become more apparent at larger sizes, where the cut edges read as a defining texture. Numerals follow the same squared, condensed logic, keeping the set visually unified for display use.
