A heavy, block-built sans with angular geometry and frequent chamfered corners. Strokes stay uniformly thick, while many counters and joins are carved with small wedge-like cut-ins that create a slightly fractured, stencil-adjacent feel. Sidebearings vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing an uneven, animated rhythm; rounds (like O/C) appear more squarish and faceted than truly circular. Lowercase forms are compact with large internal shapes, keeping the overall texture dense and punchy.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its bold silhouette and chiseled details can stay visible. It can also work for short, high-impact captions or merch-style graphics, but the busy interior carving and irregular rhythm make it less ideal for sustained small-size reading.
The tone is loud and playful, with a mischievous, DIY energy. Its jagged notches and uneven widths suggest hand-cut lettering or comic display titling, giving it a slightly rebellious, street-poster attitude rather than a polished corporate voice.
The likely intention is a high-impact display sans that feels handmade and energetic, using angular cuts and inconsistent widths to inject motion and personality while maintaining a solid, blocky presence.
The design relies on silhouette and negative cutouts for character, which reads strongly at larger sizes. In blocks of text, the irregular widths and internal nicks create a busy texture and a strong “black” page color, making line breaks and spacing feel more dynamic than orderly.
