A condensed, heavy display face built from sharp, straight-edged strokes and faceted corners. Letterforms are predominantly vertical with abrupt terminals, triangular notches, and internal counters that read as cut-outs rather than smooth bowls. The rhythm is tight and punchy, with a mix of narrow and slightly wider characters that adds an intentionally irregular, constructed feel. Numerals follow the same hard-edged geometry, emphasizing diagonals and clipped corners for a poster-like impact.
Best suited to display settings where the angular construction can read clearly—posters, headlines, title cards, packaging accents, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short, loud phrases in music, nightlife, or event branding, where the compact width and aggressive shapes help maximize impact in limited space.
The overall tone is forceful and slightly off-kilter, combining a mechanical, industrial attitude with a playful sense of distortion. Its jagged angles and cut-in details give it a rebellious, high-energy voice that feels more like signage or a game/title graphic than conventional editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, one-off display voice through a consistent system of slanted cuts and chiseled corners. It prioritizes silhouette, texture, and attitude over neutrality, aiming to create instant recognition and a bold graphic presence.
The strong silhouette and distinctive interior cut shapes make it highly attention-grabbing at larger sizes, while the tight spacing and angular detailing can visually fill in at small sizes or in dense paragraphs. The design maintains a consistent wedge-and-notch motif across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing its crafted, emblematic look.
