A heavy, block-based sans with angular, chiseled contours and slightly irregular geometry. Strokes are predominantly monoline, built from chunky rectangular masses with frequent bevels, notches, and wedge-like cut-ins that create a carved, faceted feel. Counters are small and often squarish, and terminals tend to end in blunt flats or sharp angles rather than smooth curves. Overall spacing reads tight and compact, with a lively, uneven rhythm across letters and numerals that emphasizes impact over refinement.
Best suited to large sizes where the carved details and quirky rhythm can read clearly—posters, event flyers, punchy headlines, game or entertainment graphics, and packaging callouts. It can also work for compact wordmarks when a rugged, high-impact tone is desired, but it is less appropriate for extended text or small UI labels due to tight counters and busy silhouettes.
The font projects a bold, rowdy energy—somewhere between hand-cut signage, comic display lettering, and rugged industrial labeling. Its uneven, cut-out texture makes it feel loud and mischievous, with a deliberately rough edge that adds personality and motion in short headlines.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that blends simple sans construction with hand-carved irregularity. By combining monoline heft with bevels and notches, it aims to deliver a distinctive, cut-out look that feels energetic and deliberately imperfect for attention-grabbing typography.
The angular detailing is especially noticeable in diagonals and joins, where sharp cut-ins create a fractured silhouette. Round forms (like O/0) are rendered as squared shapes with inset counters, reinforcing the blocky construction and giving the numerals a stamped, poster-ready presence.
