A slanted, condensed display face with tall, narrow proportions and crisp, angular construction. Strokes are predominantly straight and slightly tapered, with sharp corners, occasional notched joins, and minimal rounding, creating a faceted, cut-out look. Curves are handled as segmented arcs, and terminals often end in pointed or wedge-like shapes, producing a jittery rhythm across words. The lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height, while ascenders and capitals rise high, emphasizing a vertical, poster-like silhouette.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, book covers, packaging callouts, and logo/wordmark concepts where its eccentric shapes can be appreciated. It performs particularly well at medium to large sizes in high-contrast layouts, and can add character to themed titles, playful branding, or stylized editorial display.
The overall tone is wacky and theatrical, with a slightly retro, comic-serial energy. Its spiky geometry and uneven, hand-cut feel read as mischievous and unconventional rather than polished or corporate. The slant and narrow stance add urgency and motion, making lines feel animated and a bit unpredictable.
This font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, one-off voice through condensed, slanted letterforms and deliberately odd, angular details. The goal seems to be immediate recognizability and expressive texture in display typography, prioritizing personality and motion over neutrality.
The design shows intentional idiosyncrasies in glyph shapes—especially in diagonals, bowls, and crossbars—so repeated letters don’t feel purely mechanical. Numerals and capitals carry strong personality and maintain the same angular, wedge-terminal vocabulary, which keeps the set visually cohesive despite the irregular flavor.
