A dense, blocky sans with irregular, hand-cut contours and chiseled corners. Strokes are heavy and mostly straight, but edges wobble subtly, creating a torn-paper silhouette and uneven internal counters. Terminals often end in abrupt notches and small bite-like cuts, giving the letterforms a distressed, stencil-adjacent feel. Spacing appears tight and the texture is intentionally inconsistent, producing a strong, noisy rhythm in words and lines of text.
Best suited for display settings where texture and attitude are assets: posters, large headlines, album or playlist artwork, event promotions, and apparel graphics. It performs especially well when set big, where the chiseled details and rough edges can be appreciated without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is loud and rebellious, with a DIY, zine-like energy. Its jagged cuts and uneven massing suggest urgency and attitude rather than refinement, leaning toward gritty, street-level expression and playful menace.
Likely designed to emulate cutout or roughly inked lettering while staying within a bold, sans framework. The goal appears to be maximum visual punch and personality through distressed edge treatment and slightly uneven geometry, making the type feel handcrafted and raw.
The font maintains a consistent visual language of nicks, wedges, and chipped edges across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, which helps it read as a cohesive display style despite the deliberate irregularity. In text, the heavy blacks create strong impact, while the distressed detailing becomes a defining surface texture.
