A condensed, all-caps–friendly display sans with heavy, blocklike strokes and an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Letterforms are built from straight segments with sharp corners and occasional wedge-like notches, producing a chiseled look rather than smooth geometry. Counters tend to be small and rectangular, and terminals often end in abrupt, uneven cuts that create a subtly jittery vertical rhythm across words. Proportions are tall and compressed, with tight internal spacing that favors large sizes and short lines.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short statements where its condensed bulk can deliver high impact in limited space. It also works well for branding, packaging, and entertainment or music collateral that benefits from a gritty, cut-out display texture.
The overall tone feels tough, industrial, and slightly mischievous—like cut-paper signage or improvised stenciling translated into type. Its uneven edges add energy and attitude, giving text a gritty, poster-like presence that reads as bold and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a blocky sans into a rugged, hand-cut aesthetic: tight, tall proportions for space efficiency, paired with jagged terminals and angular counters for visual character. The goal is legibility at display sizes with a distinctive, industrial edge.
The numerals and uppercase share the same rigid, segmented construction, helping headings feel cohesive. The design’s intentional irregularities can create strong texture in paragraphs, so it performs best when used for impact rather than continuous reading.
