A condensed display face built from sharp, tapering strokes and wedge-like terminals, with a lively, uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Many counters are intentionally collapsed or rendered as solid forms, producing distinctive cutout silhouettes in letters like B, a, b, d, p, and q. The construction mixes straight, knife-edged stems with occasional soft curves, and several glyphs show decorative notches and internal voids that read like intentional “ink traps” or stencil cuts. Lowercase forms are compact with a notably small x-height and tall ascenders/descenders, while figures and punctuation keep the same carved, graphic logic.
Best suited to display settings where its solid counters and carved shapes can be appreciated, such as posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and entertainment or event graphics. It can work for short callouts or titles in larger sizes, where the interior collapses read as stylistic features rather than loss of detail.
The overall tone feels mischievous and theatrical—part vintage poster, part hand-cut lettering. Its filled counters and sharp terminals give it a bold, graphic snap that reads as quirky rather than traditional, adding a sense of playful oddity and character to short text.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, graphic voice by collapsing internal spaces and emphasizing sharp, wedge-like terminals. Its goal is less about neutrality and more about creating a memorable, decorative texture that stands out in brief, high-impact typography.
Letterforms are not strictly uniform: some glyphs lean toward geometric simplicity (E, F, H), while others are more illustrative with pronounced interior cutouts and asymmetries. This variability creates a distinctive texture in lines of text, but also makes the design feel intentionally idiosyncratic and display-oriented.
