A compact, oblique display sans with heavy strokes and faceted, angular contours. The letterforms show a hand-cut feel with subtly irregular edges, wedge-like terminals, and occasional pointed joins that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters are generally tight and simplified, and the overall rhythm alternates between straighter verticals and slightly bowed curves, producing a lively, uneven texture. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, blocky stance, while lowercase forms lean into the same angular construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and attitude are desirable, such as posters, event titles, brand marks, packaging callouts, and album or cover graphics. It can also work for punchy subheads, but its irregular facets and tight counters make it less ideal for small-size, long-form reading.
The font conveys a gritty, kinetic tone—part industrial, part handmade—suggesting urgency and impact. Its slanted, carved shapes read as assertive and streetwise, with a retro poster energy that feels informal and bold in voice rather than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handmade display voice using simplified sans structures that are deliberately roughened and angular. By combining an oblique stance with chiseled terminals and slightly irregular geometry, it aims to stand out quickly and add character to contemporary or retro-leaning layouts.
In text, the strong slant and compressed spacing create dense headlines with a distinctive zig-zag rhythm along the baseline and cap line. The faceting is most noticeable on rounded letters, where curves are intentionally flattened into segments, reinforcing the cut-paper/knife-carved character.
