A heavy, block-built display sans with compact proportions and a tall lowercase presence. Forms are constructed from chunky rectangular masses with small, deliberate cut-ins and notches that suggest a stencil-like or carved process rather than smooth pen logic. Corners tend toward squared with occasional soft rounding, while counters and apertures are small and sometimes off-center, creating a punched-out feel. The rhythm is intentionally irregular: widths vary notably between glyphs, and terminals often end in flat slabs interrupted by inset bites, giving the alphabet a rugged, modular texture.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where strong silhouette and texture are desirable, such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and entertainment or event branding. It can also work for bold captions or UI moments that need a punchy, game-like or industrial accent, but its tight counters and quirky rhythm make it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels brutish yet humorous—like industrial signage filtered through a toy-block or arcade sensibility. Its quirky notches and uneven internal spacing add a handmade, DIY edge that reads energetic and slightly rebellious rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense black shapes and a distinctive system of notches and cutouts, creating recognizability at a glance. Its variable glyph widths and carved details emphasize character and attitude over uniform text color, positioning it as an expressive display face.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent construction language, with the lowercase retaining strong, chunky silhouettes and minimal differentiation in stroke logic. Numerals follow the same solid, cutout approach, favoring simple geometric outlines and tight counters that help maintain an assertive, poster-like color on the page.
