A chunky, all-caps-forward display face built from squarish, angular forms with visibly uneven stroke edges and irregular corners. The outlines feel cut or chipped rather than smoothly drawn, creating a rough, hand-made perimeter and a slightly restless rhythm across words. Counters are often boxy and tightened, with intermittent notches and asymmetric joins that make repeated shapes (like bowls and rectangles) feel intentionally inconsistent. Spacing and sidebearings read somewhat unpredictable, reinforcing the off-kilter, experimental texture in text.
Best suited to short display settings where character and texture are the goal: posters, bold headlines, packaging, titles, and entertainment-oriented graphics such as games or event promo. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want a deliberately odd, hand-hewn feel, but will be less comfortable for long-form reading due to its irregular rhythm.
The font projects a mischievous, DIY energy—part comic-book title, part cut-paper or hacked-together lettering. Its jittery geometry and ragged terminals add humor and attitude, leaning into an intentionally imperfect, playful roughness.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, expressive voice through deliberate distortion of otherwise blocky sans structures—adding chipped edges, uneven joins, and quirky proportions to create instant personality and a punchy, attention-grabbing silhouette.
The jagged contour treatment stays consistent across letters and numerals, giving the design a cohesive ‘chiseled’ surface even as individual glyphs vary in width and internal geometry. It performs as a strong silhouette at larger sizes, where the irregular edges become a defining feature rather than noise.
