A very heavy, blocky display face with chiseled, faceted outlines and an intentionally uneven rhythm. Strokes read as solid slabs with low internal contrast, but the contours are cut into sharp angles and small notches that evoke hand-carved lettering. Uppercase forms are compact and muscular, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, upright skeleton with simplified bowls and angular joins. Counters are small and irregular, and the overall texture is dense, producing strong black mass in headlines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, game or film titling, album/merch graphics, and bold branding accents. It also works well for packaging or signage where a rugged, carved personality is desirable. Because of its dense texture and irregular edges, it is most effective at larger sizes rather than extended body text.
The tone feels medieval and rough-hewn, like signage cut with a knife rather than drawn with a pen. Its jagged edges and compressed, stomping rhythm give it a rowdy, punk-leaning energy that reads as bold, mischievous, and a bit chaotic. The result is theatrical and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter-inspired presence with a deliberately hand-cut, cartoonish silhouette, prioritizing attitude and visual punch over precision. It aims to create a strong, dark typographic block with rough, angular detailing that signals drama and grit in display applications.
Spacing and sidebearings appear uneven by design, contributing to a handmade, cut-paper feel in lines of text. The numerals are equally chunky and angular, matching the letterforms and keeping the overall color very dark at display sizes.
