A sharply slanted, tightly condensed display face with angular construction and hard, knife-like terminals. Strokes are mostly straight with faceted joins and occasional wedge cuts, producing a brisk rhythm and a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel despite consistent proportions. Counters are narrow and vertical, and many letters show clipped corners or small notches that emphasize speed and direction. Numerals follow the same tall, compressed silhouette, with simplified forms and distinctive cuts that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited for posters, splashy headlines, title cards, and logo-style wordmarks where a strong, fast visual voice is desired. It can also work on packaging or cover art when you want a condensed, high-impact look that reads as stylized rather than neutral.
The overall tone is fast, intense, and a bit mischievous—evoking vintage action signage and pulpy headlines. Its steep slant and pointed details suggest urgency and motion, making it feel theatrical and slightly off-kilter in a deliberate, attention-grabbing way.
The design reads as an expressive display face built to project speed and attitude through extreme condensation, a pronounced slant, and aggressive, cut-in terminals. Its distinctive angular details appear intended to make short phrases and titles feel dynamic and memorable.
Spacing appears designed for headline setting, with compact widths that build dense word shapes quickly. The texture stays dark and assertive, and the repeated wedge/clip motif gives the alphabet a recognizable signature even in longer lines of text.
