A heavy, solid display face built from jagged, faceted silhouettes that feel cut from paper or chipped from stone. Strokes are broadly monolinear, but edges break into sharp notches, wedges, and irregular chamfers that create a constantly shifting rhythm from glyph to glyph. Counters are largely collapsed, turning many letters into near-stencil-like masses with only occasional cut-in apertures, and terminals often end in abrupt angles rather than clean horizontals. Overall proportions sit around a conventional cap height and x-height, but the contours introduce a deliberately unstable texture and uneven internal spacing.
Best suited to short display settings where its angular texture can dominate: posters, event graphics, album/mixtape artwork, game titles, and bold packaging callouts. It works well for branding moments that want a raw, handmade edge, but should generally be avoided for long passages or small UI text where the collapsed interiors and tight black mass reduce readability.
The tone is unruly and confrontational, with a DIY, cut-and-paste energy that can read as punk, horror-adjacent, or comic-book aggressive depending on context. Its fractured geometry adds a sense of motion and tension, while the solid black shapes keep it loud and immediate at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through solid, counter-collapsed forms and deliberately irregular, chipped geometry. Its consistent use of faceted cuts suggests a goal of creating a distinctive, gritty texture that feels handmade and energetic rather than polished or neutral.
The dense silhouettes can cause letterforms to merge visually at smaller sizes, and the irregular cut-ins create highly distinctive word shapes that prioritize texture over crisp legibility. The figures match the same faceted language, maintaining a consistent, blocky presence across text and numerals.
