A compact, all-caps–friendly display face built from sharp planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with frequent clipped corners, wedge-like terminals, and polygonal counters that give letters a cut-paper or carved look. The outlines are intentionally irregular, producing a lively rhythm with slightly unstable baselines and varied sidebearings; round forms (O, C, G, 0) read as octagonal or shield-like shapes. Numerals and lowercase echo the same fractured geometry, keeping a consistent, rugged texture across the set.
Best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are an asset: posters, flyers, headlines, cover art, game titles, and expressive packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or merch graphics when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve the angular counters.
The font projects a raw, handmade energy—like lettering cut with a knife or assembled from broken blocks. Its jagged geometry feels rebellious and streetwise, while the irregularities add humor and spontaneity rather than strict precision. Overall, it reads loud, gritty, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, faceted display voice that mimics hand-cut or roughly chiseled lettering, prioritizing character and visual bite. Its controlled irregularity suggests a deliberate “rough-made” aesthetic aimed at high-impact branding and titling.
Interior shapes are small and angular, so the face gains density quickly in longer lines. The design leans on strong silhouettes and distinctive facets for recognition, favoring impact over smooth readability at small sizes.
