A heavy, slanted display sans with chiseled, angular outlines and wedge-like terminals. Strokes stay broadly uniform in thickness, but edges are faceted and sometimes slightly uneven, creating a cut-paper/hand-carved feel. Counters are compact and geometric, and several forms lean into diagonals and hard corners rather than smooth curves. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally irregular rhythm while keeping a cohesive, bold silhouette.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact applications such as posters, cover art, branding marks, game or comic-style titles, and promotional graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or packaging callouts where an aggressive, energetic voice is desired, but the angular texture makes it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic, with a playful toughness that reads as comic, action-oriented, and slightly rebellious. Its jagged geometry and forward lean suggest motion and impact, making it feel more like a headline voice than a neutral text workhorse.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-energy display style that mimics hand-cut or brush-carved letterforms while staying within a sans framework. Its controlled uniform weight paired with deliberately irregular, faceted edges aims for personality and impact over neutrality.
Distinctive, recognizable shapes show up strongly in the numerals and in letters with diagonals, where the faceting is most pronounced. The texture becomes more expressive in longer lines of text, where the irregular edges create a gritty, poster-like color on the page.
