A heavy, angular display face with sharply cut, faceted strokes that feel carved rather than drawn. Letterforms are constructed from blunt wedges and abrupt corners, with frequent triangular notches and clipped terminals that create a jagged rhythm. Counters tend to be small and irregular, and many joins kink slightly, giving the outlines a restless, hand-cut feel. The lowercase follows the same blocky logic as the caps, and figures are similarly chunky with hard-edged cuts and occasional asymmetry.
Best suited to display settings where a loud, irregular texture is desirable: posters, punchy headlines, logotypes, and branding moments that want a deliberately quirky edge. It can also work for album artwork, game titles, or themed event flyers, especially when used at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The overall tone is unruly and playful, mixing a blackletter-esque severity with cartoonish exaggeration. It reads as intentionally odd and attention-seeking—more “shouty” than refined—suggesting mischief, DIY energy, and a tongue-in-cheek medieval/retro poster vibe.
The design appears intended to create an eccentric, one-off display voice by combining heavy black shapes with jagged, chiseled detailing. Its irregular cuts and angular construction prioritize personality and texture over neutrality, aiming for immediate visual impact and a distinctive silhouette.
Spacing and silhouettes are highly individualized per glyph, which increases character but makes long passages feel busy. Diagonals and cut-ins are a key motif across the set, and the strong black massing holds up well for short bursts where texture matters more than smooth readability.
