A heavy, block-built display face with sharply chamfered corners and faceted, polygonal construction. Strokes are consistently thick and monolinear, with crisp 45° cuts that create wedge-like terminals and notched interior corners. Counters tend toward squarish apertures, and several forms use deliberate breaks or inset slices that introduce a subtle stenciled, cut-out effect. The overall rhythm is compact and geometric, with a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel across letters and numerals.
Best suited for bold, attention-grabbing work such as posters, event flyers, esports or game UI headings, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where a sharp, stylized voice is desired. It performs especially well in short bursts of text, where the carved details can read as intentional texture.
The font projects a loud, edgy energy—part arcade, part metal/industrial—while keeping a mischievous, wacky tone through its exaggerated angles and quirky cut-ins. Its sharp corners and chiseled silhouettes suggest impact and attitude more than refinement.
The letterforms appear designed to mimic cut-metal or chiseled signage through repeated chamfers, notches, and wedge terminals, prioritizing a distinctive silhouette over neutrality. The consistent faceting across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests an intention to create a cohesive, high-impact display system for expressive titles and branding.
The design relies on distinctive negative-space shapes (rectangular counters and small inset openings) to keep dense forms readable at display sizes. Lowercase echoes the uppercase’s angular language, and the numerals follow the same faceted, cut-corner construction for a consistent voice.
