A heavy, block-built display face with squared silhouettes, crisp 90° corners, and frequent stepped notches cut into stems and bowls. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of rectangular counters and angular joins, giving letters a constructed, almost modular feel. Stroke endings are blunt and slab-like, with occasional bite-outs that create a jagged rhythm along verticals and horizontals. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s geometry, with simplified forms and compact counters that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its blocky, notched texture can be appreciated—arcade- or tech-themed titles, game interfaces, posters, and punchy branding moments. It can also work for short bursts of copy in promotional graphics, though extended reading at small sizes may lose the detail of the stepped cuts.
The overall tone is game-like and mischievous, with a deliberate roughness that feels engineered rather than handwritten. The repeated notches and pixel-esque stepping suggest digital distortion or retro screen graphics, giving the font an energetic, slightly unruly personality. It reads as assertive and attention-grabbing, with a quirky, experimental edge.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, one-off voice through geometric mass and deliberate imperfections, using notch-and-step detailing to create a recognizable texture. Its simplified construction prioritizes bold impact and thematic character over conventional text neutrality.
The design leans on consistent rectangular counters (notably in O/0-like shapes) and strong black/white patterning; the notch motif becomes a defining texture across many glyphs. Spacing appears tuned for headline use, where the chunky silhouettes and interior cutouts can remain distinct without filling in.
