A heavy, slanted display face built from sharp, faceted silhouettes with frequent triangular notches and abrupt cut-ins. Strokes read as low-contrast blocks, but edges are deliberately irregular, with jagged terminals, clipped corners, and occasional internal bite-marks that collapse counters into mostly solid forms. The rhythm is energetic and uneven: widths vary by letter, diagonals dominate, and joints often form pointed wedges rather than smooth curves, creating a cut-metal or carved-paper feel. The lowercase follows the same angular construction, with compact bowls and simplified joins that prioritize bold shapes over interior clarity.
This font performs best in short, bold phrases where its jagged silhouettes can act as the main visual hook—posters, title cards, packaging callouts, and branding marks. It also fits game/UI title treatments and entertainment graphics where an aggressive, stylized voice is desired. Use generous tracking and larger sizes to preserve letter recognition.
The overall tone is confrontational and high-energy, with a mischievous, comic menace. Its sharp facets and hacked-in details suggest danger, speed, and noise—well-suited to themes that want to feel rebellious, game-like, or intentionally unruly rather than refined.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact through solid black massing and angular, carved-looking details, creating a distinctive novelty texture. It prioritizes attitude and graphic presence over traditional readability, aiming for a dramatic, energetic display voice.
Because many counters are reduced or closed and the silhouettes are highly notched, legibility drops quickly at small sizes and in dense settings. The italic slant amplifies motion, while the strong black mass makes the type read as a graphic shape even when individual letters become harder to distinguish.
