A heavy, angular sans with sharply cut terminals and wedge-like joins that create a chiseled, irregular silhouette. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick vertical masses and thinner connecting strokes, while counters are compact and often squared-off. The overall rhythm is intentionally uneven: many glyphs lean and skew, with slightly inconsistent widths and slanted cross-strokes that give the line a restless, hand-cut feel. Curves are minimized in favor of faceted bends, producing a distinctive, hard-edged texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited for display use where impact and personality are the priority, such as posters, event flyers, album artwork, game or film titles, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short branding marks or section headers when a gritty, energetic tone is desired. Due to its aggressive contrast and irregular rhythm, it’s less appropriate for long paragraphs or small-size UI text.
The tone is loud and confrontational, mixing a comic-book punch with a DIY, cut-paper attitude. Its energetic slant and jagged geometry suggest motion and urgency, making it feel playful but also aggressive. The overall impression is expressive and rebellious rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through angular, high-contrast strokes and a deliberately irregular, forward-leaning stance. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and dramatic texture over quiet readability, aiming to evoke hand-made, cut-out lettering in a contemporary display sans framework.
In the sample text, the spiky outlines and compact counters build strong black shapes and dramatic word silhouettes, especially in capital-heavy settings. The lowercase maintains the same angular logic, with short ascenders/descenders that keep lines tight while preserving the font’s jagged momentum. Numerals follow the same carved, irregular construction, reading as bold signage forms rather than text figures.
