A compact, heavy sans with sharply angled terminals and wedge-like cuts that give many strokes a chiseled, slightly notched silhouette. The forms are built from straight segments with minimal curvature, producing squared counters and crisp, faceted joins. Stroke weight is consistently strong, with subtle tapering implied by the angled ends, and spacing tends to feel tight and rhythmic in text. Overall proportions are tall and compressed, while letter widths vary enough to keep word shapes lively rather than strictly monospaced.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, album or event graphics, logos, packaging, and short-callout signage where its chunky, angular shapes can read cleanly. It performs well when set with generous size and simple layouts, and can add distinctive texture to brand marks or titles that need a rugged, graphic impact.
The tone is assertive and graphic, evoking poster lettering, industrial signage, and retro display aesthetics. Its angular cuts add a mischievous, energetic edge that reads as both tough and playful. The strong silhouettes create a bold, attention-grabbing voice suited to high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that substitutes conventional smooth curves with faceted cuts to create a distinctive, carved look. Its condensed stance and strong rhythm suggest an emphasis on bold presence and efficient headline setting while maintaining a quirky, stylized character.
Lowercase construction often mirrors the uppercase geometry, reinforcing a cohesive all-caps-like feel in mixed-case settings. Numerals are equally blocky and angular, matching the typeface’s faceted rhythm and maintaining a strong presence at display sizes.
