A compact, all-caps-forward display face built from angular, blocky forms with intentionally uneven edges. Strokes are thick and dark, but many characters show carved internal channels and small cut-outs that create a hollow/inline effect and add texture. Curves are largely minimized in favor of squared counters and chamfered corners, while diagonals (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y) feel sharp and slightly unstable, reinforcing the hand-made look. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, giving words a jittery rhythm while keeping a generally tight footprint.
Best suited for display settings where texture and attitude are assets: posters, punchy headlines, packaging accents, music and entertainment artwork, and game/UI title screens. It can work for short bursts of copy, but the busy internal carving and irregular edges favor larger sizes and strong contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone is gritty and mechanical with a DIY, hand-cut energy—part urban poster, part improvised signage. The carved inline detailing adds a rough, distressed flavor that reads assertive and slightly mischievous rather than refined or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, cut-out aesthetic that blends block signage with distressed inline detailing. By keeping forms compact and angular while introducing carved interior gaps, it aims for a loud, tactile look that stands out in contemporary display typography.
The inline/hollow incisions are not perfectly uniform, which enhances the distressed character but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals and lowercase echo the same angular construction, and the texture is strong enough that it becomes a defining pattern across lines of text.
