A heavy, angular sans with chunky, block-like forms and deliberately irregular geometry. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with frequent diagonal cuts, notched corners, and wedge-shaped counters that create a chiseled silhouette. The baseline and sidebearings read intentionally uneven, giving letters a jittery rhythm and a slightly staggered texture in lines of text. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of faceted joins, sharp terminals, and cut-out interior shapes, producing strong black mass and high visual impact.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, and bold branding moments where its irregular rhythm can read as intentional personality. It can also work well for album art, event flyers, and graphic packaging where a rough-cut, high-contrast silhouette is an asset; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The font conveys a DIY, cut-paper attitude with an energetic, slightly unruly tone. Its jagged edges and quirky counter shapes add a mischievous, streetwise character that feels more expressive than neutral, leaning into a bold, graphic voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking display voice that mimics hand-cut or chiseled lettering while staying within a sans structure. Its controlled inconsistency suggests a purposeful move toward expressive texture and impact rather than smooth typographic neutrality.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent faceted construction, while several glyphs introduce distinctive cut-ins and angled apertures that become a defining motif across the set. Numerals follow the same chunky, clipped style, keeping the overall texture cohesive when mixing text and figures.
