A chunky, all-caps-dominant sans with aggressively angular construction and a deliberately irregular silhouette. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with sharp corners, wedge-like joins, and frequent slanted terminals that make each glyph feel cut from rough polygons. Counters are small and boxy, and curves are largely avoided in favor of faceted, straight-edged geometry. Letter widths and interior shapes vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven rhythm that reads as intentional rather than mechanical.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, event flyers, album art, game titles, and bold brand marks where the irregular, cut-out texture is a feature. It can work well on packaging or merchandise when paired with simple supporting type, but is less appropriate for small UI text or dense editorial settings.
The overall tone is loud, mischievous, and hand-made, evoking cut-paper lettering, zine graphics, and retro game or skateboard-era display type. The jittery angles and inconsistent widths give it a kinetic, slightly chaotic energy that feels comedic and rebellious rather than formal.
The font appears designed to prioritize personality and graphic punch over strict uniformity, using intentional distortion and angular “carved” shapes to create a distinctive display voice. Its construction suggests a goal of capturing a hand-cut or playful comic sensibility while remaining clearly legible in large sizes.
The design’s strong black mass and small apertures create high visual impact at headline sizes, while the irregular geometry can become busy in longer passages. Numerals follow the same faceted, chunky logic, and punctuation/symbol forms (as shown) keep the angular, cut-out character consistent.
