A highly angular display face built from hard, broken strokes and faceted corners. Forms lean backward and feel carved rather than drawn, with abrupt direction changes, wedge-like terminals, and irregular inner counters that create a fractured rhythm. The proportions are compact and vertically emphatic, and several letters use unconventional construction that prioritizes shape texture over classical readability.
Best used at display sizes where the sharp facets and quirky construction can be appreciated. It suits posters, album or mixtape art, skate/punk-inspired graphics, game or zine titles, and short branding phrases where texture and attitude matter more than smooth reading. For longer copy, it works more reliably as a headline or pull-quote paired with a simpler text face.
The overall tone is unruly and mischievous, with an aggressive, punk-like energy. Its backward slant and sharp silhouettes give it a confrontational, kinetic feel, while the irregularity keeps it playful and intentionally off-kilter. It reads as a stylized, rebellious voice suited to loud visual statements.
The design intention appears to be an experimental, attention-grabbing alphabet with a carved, broken aesthetic and a deliberate backward slant. It emphasizes visual texture, angular energy, and unconventional letter construction to create a distinctive voice for expressive display typography.
Spacing and letterfit appear intentionally uneven to preserve the jagged texture across words, producing a stuttering rhythm in lines of text. Numerals and capitals match the same fractured geometry, and repeated letters create a strong pattern effect that can become more prominent than individual character recognition at smaller sizes.
