A tightly condensed, right-slanted display face with angular, carved-looking letterforms and squared counters. Strokes stay largely monoline while terminals end in sharp, knife-like points and abrupt cuts, creating a chiseled rhythm. Bowls and apertures are narrow and slightly irregular, with occasional notches and hooked joins that add a hand-cut feel. Overall spacing is compact and vertical, producing a dense, forward-leaning texture in words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, cover titles, event graphics, and punchy editorial headings. It can also work for logos and packaging where a sharp, energetic personality is desired. For longer passages or small sizes, its tight forms and pointed details are likely to feel busy, so pairing with a calmer text face is recommended.
The font reads fast and restless, with a mischievous, off-kilter edge. Its sharp cuts and aggressive slant suggest action, speed, and a slightly rebellious humor—more “graphic sound effect” than formal typography. The overall tone feels vintage-pulpy and expressive, suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, one-off voice through condensed proportions, a strong forward slant, and deliberately jagged, cut terminals. Its consistent angular motifs suggest a controlled display concept aimed at creating motion and attitude rather than quiet readability.
The uppercase is especially tall and pinched, while the lowercase maintains the same angular vocabulary with simplified, narrow bowls. Numerals follow the same condensed, cut-in shapes, keeping a consistent voice across alphanumerics. The sharp interior corners and tight apertures make it strongest at medium-to-large sizes where the distinctive cuts remain clear.
