A heavy, condensed display face with a blackletter-meets-stencil construction and sharply chamfered corners. Stems are straight and monolinear in feel, with frequent notches, wedge-like terminals, and clipped curves that turn bowls into octagonal forms. Counters run tight and angular, creating a dense texture, while individual letters vary subtly in silhouette and width for an irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Lowercase echoes the uppercase structure, with simplified, boxy forms and compact joins that keep the overall color dark and assertive.
Best suited to short display settings where its angular texture can be a feature—posters, event flyers, logotypes, packaging titles, and music or game-related graphics. It works particularly well when large enough to preserve the interior cuts and tight counters, and when paired with a simpler text face for contrast.
The tone is bold and mischievous, mixing old-world gothic cues with a rough, DIY edge. Its jagged cuts and tight spacing read as gritty and energetic, leaning toward a tongue-in-cheek toughness rather than formal tradition.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact, characterful display voice by fusing condensed blackletter proportions with chiseled, stencil-like cuts. The goal appears to be instant recognizability and a bold graphic pattern in words, favoring attitude and texture over neutrality.
The distinctive chamfers and interior cut-ins become a consistent motif across letters and figures, giving words a stamped, carved appearance. Round characters like O/C/G and numerals such as 0/8/9 maintain the same faceted geometry, helping the set feel cohesive despite its intentionally quirky irregularities.
