A heavy, block-driven display face built from squarish, chamfered forms and sharp interior notches. Strokes terminate in abrupt steps, spikes, and wedge-like cuts that create a jittery silhouette while keeping a consistent, upright stance. Counters are compact and often rectangular, with occasional cut-ins that make letters feel carved or chipped. Spacing reads tight and chunky in text, with many glyphs showing asymmetric details that add motion and irregular rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, logos, and packaging where its jagged silhouette can be appreciated. It works well for playful or offbeat themes in entertainment, events, and merchandise, and can add a punchy graphic voice to album art or game-related UI headings. Use larger sizes and generous line spacing to keep its busy details from clashing.
The overall tone is rambunctious and mischievous, with a DIY, cut-out energy that feels intentionally odd and attention-seeking. Its jagged corners and spur-like accents give it a lively, slightly aggressive personality that reads more fun than formal. The texture suggests a bold, graphic attitude suited to novelty headlines and playful branding moments.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, unconventional display voice by combining compact counters with irregular corner cuts and spur accents. It prioritizes character and texture over neutrality, creating a distinctive, hand-cut or carved impression that grabs attention quickly. The consistent angular construction suggests a deliberate system behind the quirks, aimed at memorable headline impact.
In running text, the strong black mass and frequent notches create a distinctive “bitten” texture that is highly recognizable but can become visually busy at smaller sizes. The numerals echo the same stepped geometry and sharp corner cuts, helping the set feel cohesive for display layouts. Shapes tend to favor straight segments over curves, reinforcing a constructed, poster-like look.
