A very heavy, block-built sans with sharply angular silhouettes and deliberately irregular geometry. Strokes are largely monolinear in feel, but edges wobble and corners chip into facets, producing a cut-paper or rough-carved effect. Counters are small and often skewed, with occasional slit-like openings that read as stencil-like notches. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with uneven widths, lively baseline behavior, and a compact, punchy overall texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, game or comic titling, and bold packaging statements. The dense black shapes hold attention at medium to large sizes, where the intentional irregularities and carved details remain legible and contribute to the character.
The face conveys a mischievous, DIY energy—part comic menace, part handmade poster lettering. Its jagged angles and unstable rhythm create tension and motion, giving text a loud, expressive presence that feels intentionally imperfect and slightly chaotic.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised, hand-cut display lettering while retaining the basic clarity of a sans structure. Its emphasis is on attitude and immediacy rather than neutrality, using controlled inconsistency to create a distinctive, energetic voice.
Round forms are consistently squarish and faceted, and diagonals tend to kink rather than flow smoothly. The numerals match the same chunky, irregular construction, maintaining a cohesive, cutout-like voice across the set.
