A condensed, heavy sans with angular, slightly irregular contours that feel cut rather than drawn. Strokes stay largely monolinear with subtle contrast created by tapering and sharp joints, and terminals often end in wedge-like points. Counters are small and tightly enclosed, with a compact rhythm and occasional asymmetry that gives letters a restless, handmade texture. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with a straightforward, normal-height feel, while numerals and capitals maintain the same tall, compressed silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where its dense black presence and quirky angularity can lead the composition. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and entertainment or event graphics that benefit from a bold, slightly rough display voice.
The overall tone is loud and characterful, mixing a retro display attitude with a rough, off-kilter edge. Its uneven geometry reads as playful but also a little menacing, making it well-suited to high-impact, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that departs from neutral geometry through deliberate irregularity and knife-cut terminals. Its goal is to deliver strong presence and a distinctive texture that reads quickly while adding personality to the page.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the dark color builds quickly, especially in longer lines, so it tends to perform best when given room. The distinctive, kinked curves and sharp notches create a strong texture that becomes a defining visual element at headline sizes.
