This font uses a jagged, angular stroke vocabulary with a consistent rightward slant and visibly irregular construction. Strokes feel hand-rendered, with sharp corners, uneven terminals, and frequent wedge-like joins that create a cut, chiseled impression. Proportions are loosely controlled: curves are largely suppressed into faceted shapes, counters skew and vary in size, and widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet an animated, uneven rhythm. Despite the roughness, the letterforms remain mostly open and legible, with simple sans-like structures translated into a scratchy, polygonal geometry.
It works best for display typography where personality is more important than neutrality—posters, event promos, album/merch graphics, game titles, and expressive section headers. Short to medium text can be effective when set with generous spacing, but dense body copy will likely feel busy due to the jagged outlines and variable widths.
The overall tone is raw and expressive—more punk zine or underground flyer than polished editorial. Its restless angles and off-kilter rhythm read as rebellious, gritty, and slightly mischievous, with a handmade immediacy that suggests urgency and attitude.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a simple sans foundation through a hand-cut, faceted drawing style, prioritizing attitude, motion, and a raw handmade feel over strict geometric consistency. It aims to be immediately recognizable and characterful at larger sizes, providing a strong visual voice for edgy or unconventional branding.
The texture comes from deliberate inconsistency in stroke direction and corner treatment rather than added distress effects, so the face stays clean while still feeling rough. Numerals and capitals carry especially strong angularity, which amplifies the graphic impact in short lines and display settings.
