A chunky, faceted display face built from heavy, cut-paper-like strokes with crisp angles and flattened corners. Letterforms are compact and dense, with most counters minimized or collapsed, creating solid silhouettes and strong black shapes. The geometry feels hand-cut rather than machined: edges wobble slightly, terminals vary in angle, and widths shift noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing an uneven, lively rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same blunt, polygonal construction, with occasional notches and wedge-like joints that emphasize the carved, chiseled feel.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display settings such as posters, event titles, album/cover art, brand marks, and bold packaging callouts. It works well for short phrases, badges, and wordmarks where silhouette-driven forms can dominate and the dense black texture is a feature rather than a limitation.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous—part graffiti stencil, part rough-hewn poster lettering. Its irregularity reads as energetic and rebellious, lending a DIY, underground character with a touch of cartoon toughness.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch through solid, counterless shapes while keeping a handmade, irregular cadence. Its faceted construction and varying widths suggest a deliberate move away from typographic neutrality toward a distinctive, cut-and-collage display voice.
Because the interiors are largely closed, recognition relies on outer contours and distinctive cuts; this boosts impact at headline sizes but can reduce clarity in longer passages or at small sizes. The strong, continuous color makes it especially effective when set with generous tracking and ample whitespace.
