A heavy, solid display face built from chunky geometric masses with corners clipped into uneven facets. Strokes are largely monolinear in feel but intentionally irregular, with sharp notches and planar cuts that create a hand-carved silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are largely collapsed, so forms read as bold silhouettes with minimal interior differentiation, and spacing appears tight, amplifying the dense, poster-like texture. Overall proportions are compact and squared, with a tall lowercase set and a lively, inconsistent edge rhythm across letters and numerals.
Best suited for large-scale display work where its dense silhouettes and angular cuts can be appreciated—posters, title cards, branding marks, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing social graphics. It performs especially well when used sparingly as a statement face, paired with a simpler companion for body text.
The font conveys a tough, gritty attitude—part industrial signage, part cut-out stencil, with a disruptive, punk-leaning edge. Its jagged facets and filled-in interiors give it a loud, confrontational voice that feels at home in high-energy, unconventional contexts.
The design appears intended to maximize impact through solid, counterless forms and irregular chisel-like detailing, creating a rugged, cut-from-material look. Its goal is less about smooth readability and more about establishing a distinctive, high-contrast presence in display typography.
The faceted cuts vary from glyph to glyph, producing a deliberately imperfect rhythm that becomes a distinctive pattern in headlines. Because interior openings are minimized, letter recognition relies heavily on exterior silhouettes, which favors larger sizes and shorter phrases.
