A heavy, block-built display face with squared proportions and deliberately jagged, notched contours. Stems and bowls are constructed from chunky modules, but the outlines are irregular and chipped, creating a rough, carved silhouette rather than a perfectly even grid. Counters are small and boxy, spacing is tight, and the overall rhythm is compact with strong vertical presence and slightly inconsistent sidebearings that add to the gritty texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as game title screens, arcade-style interfaces, headers, posters, event flyers, and packaging where a rugged retro tone is desirable. It can work for large subheads, but the dense, jagged detailing makes it less comfortable for small sizes or long-form reading.
The font projects a retro arcade energy with a gritty, horror-comic edge. Its chipped pixel blocks feel loud and confrontational, suggesting action, monsters, and campy suspense rather than clean tech minimalism.
The design appears intended to blend classic blocky, bitmap-inspired construction with a distressed, chiseled finish, prioritizing visual punch and thematic character. It aims to evoke vintage digital lettering while adding an aggressive, worn texture for display-driven branding.
Uppercase forms read as sturdy, poster-like blocks, while lowercase retains the same angular, cut-out logic and stays highly stylized. Numerals are equally chunky and simplified, optimized for impact over precision, and the sample text shows that the texture becomes more pronounced in longer lines.
