A sharp, faceted display face built from chunky strokes and hard-angled terminals. The letterforms lean with a consistent backward slant and show irregular, chiseled contours that create a deliberately uneven rhythm. Counters are tight and polygonal, joins often kink into abrupt corners, and many glyphs feature wedge-like cut-ins and protrusions that make the silhouette feel broken-up and energetic. Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular construction, with simplified, compact bowls and a generally condensed footprint.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, logo wordmarks, game or music graphics, and packaging where a loud, stylized voice is desired. It works well when used in larger sizes with generous spacing, and as an accent font paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The overall tone is mischievous and confrontational, with a hand-hacked, graffiti-adjacent attitude. Its spiky geometry and off-kilter motion suggest action, noise, and a comic-book sense of exaggeration rather than calm readability. The texture reads as intentionally unruly and attention-grabbing.
This design appears intended to deliver a one-off, expressive look by exaggerating angularity and slanted motion, prioritizing personality and texture over neutrality. The consistent faceted construction suggests an aim for a cohesive “cut” or “shard-like” theme across the set while keeping forms quirky and unexpected.
In text, the dense black shapes and frequent angular notches create a strong surface pattern that can visually “vibrate,” especially in long passages. Similar-looking angular diagonals across several letters can increase character ambiguity at smaller sizes, but the distinctive silhouettes remain impactful at headline scale.
