A jagged, geometric sans with sharply cut terminals and blocky counters that feel carved rather than drawn. Strokes alternate between heavy slabs and thin hairline connectors, creating abrupt thick–thin transitions and a distinctly fragmented rhythm. Proportions are inconsistent by design, with variable letter widths, occasional top-heavy silhouettes, and slightly off-kilter verticals that give lines a jittery texture. Counters skew rectangular and narrow, and many joins form acute angles, reinforcing a tense, cut-paper or stencil-like construction.
Best suited to display applications where its fractured geometry can be appreciated: posters, headlines, packaging accents, and entertainment branding. It can add personality to short bursts of text—titles, pull quotes, or signage—especially in themes that benefit from a gritty or playful tension.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, with a slightly sinister, comic-book edge. Its uneven cadence and sharp corners read as intentionally unruly, lending a handmade, punky attitude more than a neutral modern voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, expressive sans that feels cut, chipped, and deliberately irregular. By mixing chunky masses with thin links and sharp notches, it prioritizes character and motion over typographic neutrality, aiming to stand out in attention-driven display settings.
In the sample text, the strong internal contrast and tight counters produce a lively sparkle at large sizes, while smaller sizes may feel busier due to the thin connectors and angular notches. The design leans on distinctive shapes for recognition—especially in diagonals and apertures—so spacing and line breaks become part of the visual effect.
