This typeface uses chunky, angular strokes with sharply cut corners and faceted curves, giving many letters an almost polygonal, hand-carved silhouette. Terminals often end in wedge-like points, and bowls and counters are simplified into uneven geometric shapes rather than smooth arcs. The letterforms lean consistently and show intentionally irregular edge behavior, creating a lively texture and a slightly variable rhythm across the line. Overall spacing feels compact and punchy, with sturdy stems and distinct, high-impact shapes that stay legible while embracing roughness.
Best suited for display settings where texture and attitude are the point: posters, headlines, packaging accents, event flyers, album or mixtape artwork, and game or entertainment titles. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) where a gritty, hand-made feel is desirable, but the jagged detailing is most effective at larger sizes.
The tone is energetic and mischievous, with a DIY, zine-like attitude that reads as rebellious rather than refined. Its slanted, jagged construction suggests motion and immediacy, lending a playful edge that feels at home in alternative, youth-oriented, or street-culture contexts.
The design appears intended to emulate a hand-cut, rough-lettered look while keeping the underlying skeleton simple and sans-based for quick recognition. Its consistent slant and faceted edges prioritize character and momentum over smooth neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, high-impact voice in contemporary display typography.
Uppercase forms are especially emblematic and poster-ready, while the lowercase keeps the same cut-paper angularity for a cohesive voice in longer lines. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, maintaining consistent presence in mixed text.
