A heavily slanted, compact display face with chunky strokes and crisp, faceted terminals. Forms feel hand-cut: strokes are slightly irregular, corners are sharpened into wedges, and counters are tight, giving the letters a dense, high-impact texture. The rhythm is energetic, with a mix of straight-sided stems and rounded bowls that are clipped into angular joins; numerals match the same blocky, carved treatment for a consistent color in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, album covers, merchandise graphics, and bold brand marks. It works well when you want a condensed, energetic word shape and a distinctly vintage-gothic edge, especially on dark-on-light or high-contrast layouts.
The overall tone is gothic and old-world, but delivered with a loud, poster-ready attitude. Its aggressive slant, tight spacing feel, and chiseled edges evoke punk gig flyers, vintage sports lettering, and headline typography meant to shout rather than whisper.
The design appears aimed at delivering a condensed, attention-grabbing display style that merges hand-cut texture with a gothic-leaning, blackletter-like edge. The strong slant and faceted terminals suggest an intention to feel dynamic and aggressive while retaining a historic, ornamental undertone.
Uppercase shapes read strongly at a distance due to their simplified, bold silhouettes, while lowercase adds a more hand-rendered flavor and bounce. The pointed, wedge-like endings and compact counters can thicken quickly in small sizes, so it benefits from generous sizing and breathing room.
