A compact, blocky display face with squared silhouettes, tight apertures, and heavily filled counters that create a dense, poster-ready texture. Strokes are straight and slabby with rounded-rect corners, while repeated internal notches and cut-ins introduce an irregular, almost stencil-like rhythm across both upper- and lowercase. Proportions are condensed with short extenders, and the numerals match the same heavy, squared construction for a consistent, monolithic color on the line.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, logo lockups, and packaging where its notched texture can be a feature. It also fits title cards and UI moments in games or themed graphics that want a gritty, industrial-meets-playful voice rather than conventional legibility.
The repeated bite-marks and mechanical cutouts give the font a rugged, mischievous tone—part industrial sign lettering, part playful sabotage. It feels bold and attention-seeking, with a slightly chaotic energy that reads more like a graphic stamp than a neutral text face.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed footprint while adding character through consistent internal cutouts and irregular edges. Those disruptions turn simple block forms into a distinctive display texture that reads instantly as stylized and unconventional.
The dense interior shapes and small openings can close up quickly at small sizes, so it benefits from generous tracking and high-contrast settings. Mixed-case has a deliberately uniform, compact footprint, keeping word shapes chunky and rectangular.
