A heavy, block-built sans with sharply faceted contours and deliberate irregularity. Strokes are consistently thick, with corners cut into wedges and small chamfers that create a carved, polygonal silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters tend to be compact and angular (notably in O, Q, a, e), and terminals often end in blunt, skewed planes that give each glyph a slightly hand-cut feel. Proportions are generally compact, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins; diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y read as bold, slab-like wedges. Numerals echo the same cut-out geometry, producing a cohesive, high-impact texture across lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where bold texture and attitude are an advantage: posters, headlines, packaging accents, event flyers, and music or nightlife branding. It can work effectively for short phrases and titles at medium-to-large sizes, where the faceted edges and compact counters stay legible and contribute to the intended grit.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a DIY edge that feels loud and informal. Its chiseled, uneven geometry suggests street-level attitude and a touch of mischief, while the dense black shapes project confidence and impact. The texture reads more expressive than refined, leaning toward bold, characterful display communication.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through chunky, angular construction and an intentionally roughened silhouette. By replacing smooth curves with faceted cuts and keeping counters tight, it creates a distinctive, hand-hewn voice that reads quickly and leaves a strong graphic imprint.
In running text the tight counters and strong faceting create a busy, patterned color, especially at smaller sizes. The letterforms maintain clear uppercase presence, while the lowercase keeps the same angular construction, reinforcing a consistent, cut-paper or carved-sign impression. Spacing appears designed for headline punch rather than delicate typographic nuance.
