A compact, right-leaning display face built from chunky, angular strokes with deliberately irregular edges. The forms feel carved and faceted, with wedge-like terminals, notched corners, and occasional ink-trap-like cut-ins that create a rough, animated silhouette. Counters are tight and often polygonal, curves are minimized in favor of hard turns, and the overall rhythm is punchy and uneven in a controlled way—more cutout than calligraphic.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where its jagged texture can do the heavy lifting—posters, punchy headlines, logos/wordmarks, packaging callouts, and entertainment or game-title graphics. It can also work for themed signage or sports/event materials where a bold, energetic voice is needed.
The tone is loud and mischievous, with a scrappy, hand-cut energy that reads as playful rather than refined. Its aggressive angles and bouncy irregularities suggest comic action, stunt signage, and a slightly rebellious, tongue-in-cheek attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual bite through faceted geometry and intentional roughness, creating a distinctive, one-off display texture that stands out immediately. It prioritizes character and motion over neutrality, aiming for a lively, attention-grabbing presence in large-scale typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same muscular, faceted construction, keeping a consistent texture across mixed-case settings. The numerals follow the same chiseled logic, giving headlines a cohesive, poster-like blockiness, while the tight internal spaces mean it benefits from generous tracking at smaller sizes.
