A compact, heavy display face built from chunky, irregular silhouettes with a distinctly jagged perimeter. Curves are blunted and asymmetrical, with abrupt notches and wedge-like cuts that create a torn-paper or hand-carved look. Counters are frequently collapsed or reduced to small slits, producing dense, inky letterforms and a strongly textured word shape. Spacing and sidebearings feel lively and uneven, giving lines a bouncy rhythm and a deliberately rough edge rather than a smooth typographic cadence.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, gig flyers, album or mixtape artwork, streetwear graphics, stickers, and punchy headings. It can also work for logos or wordmarks where a distressed, cutout personality is desired, particularly when set large and with careful tracking.
The overall tone is loud, unruly, and handmade, suggesting DIY energy and a deliberately imperfect attitude. Its spiky contours and tightly packed black shapes read as bold and confrontational, while the exaggerated irregularities keep it playful and cartoonish rather than formal.
The design appears intended to prioritize graphic attitude over conventional readability, using torn, angular edges and collapsed counters to create a dense, stamp-like presence. It aims to deliver an instantly recognizable, DIY display voice that feels raw, energetic, and attention-grabbing.
In continuous text the dense color and filled-in interiors can cause letters to merge visually, especially at smaller sizes; it performs best when given generous size and breathing room. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same cut-and-slab styling, keeping a consistent, abrasive texture across sets.
