A compact, blocky sans with tall, compressed proportions and heavy, nearly monoline strokes. Letterforms are built from sharp, faceted edges and clipped corners, creating a chiseled silhouette with subtly uneven sides and widths that give the line a lively, hand-cut rhythm. Counters are tight and simplified, curves are minimized, and terminals often end in angled cuts; the overall texture reads dense and punchy, with strong vertical emphasis and slightly jittery spacing in running text.
Best suited to display settings where impact and character matter—posters, headlines, merchandise, packaging, and short branding phrases. It performs well at larger sizes and in high-contrast applications where its tight counters and angular detailing can remain clear.
The font projects a brash, retro-tinged energy—somewhere between novelty display lettering and handmade sign paint. Its angular cuts and irregular rhythm add personality and motion, making it feel playful, a bit rebellious, and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint while adding a handcrafted, cut-paper or chiseled-sign feel. Its irregularities and faceted geometry prioritize distinctive voice and strong visual rhythm over typographic neutrality.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similarly sturdy construction, with the lowercase remaining fairly upright and compact. Numerals echo the same faceted, cutout approach, helping mixed alphanumeric settings keep a consistent, poster-ready color.
