A heavy, slanted display sans with chunky, faceted letterforms and sharply cut terminals. Strokes are broadly uniform and the contours feel hand-shaped, with irregular angles and wedge-like joins that create a carved, blocky silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are small and often polygonal, and spacing reads tight and compact, producing a dense, poster-ready texture across lines. Numerals and capitals share the same jagged geometry, keeping a consistent, aggressive rhythm in both short words and longer text.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album/merch graphics, and game or event titles where a gritty, high-impact voice is desired. It also works well for short bursts of text—logos, badges, and captions—when set large enough to preserve the interior shapes.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, leaning into a DIY, zine-like attitude. Its sharp facets and forward slant suggest speed and impact, giving it a playful but confrontational edge suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended as an expressive, high-impact sans that prioritizes attitude and texture over neutrality. Its chiseled, irregular construction suggests a deliberately rough, hand-cut aesthetic meant to stand out in bold, youth-oriented or alternative contexts.
The font’s irregular geometry introduces a lively sparkle at large sizes, but the tight apertures and dense shapes can reduce clarity as the size drops. It performs best when given generous size and breathing room, where the angular cuts and distinctive counters remain legible.
