The letterforms are tall and compact with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, faceted corners. Strokes alternate between thick uprights and thinner connecting strokes, with frequent angled cuts that create a chiseled, zig-zag rhythm across words. Counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, and many terminals end in small wedges or hooked notches, contributing to an irregular, stylized texture. Overall spacing reads tight and the silhouette is strongly vertical, producing a dense, graphic color in text.
Best suited for short, prominent settings where the spiky rhythm and vertical punch can lead: headlines, posters, logos, and event or entertainment branding. It can also work for game titles, album/film artwork, and themed packaging where a stylized, slightly vintage edge is desired. In longer passages, its tight spacing and busy details are likely to read best at larger sizes.
This typeface projects a punchy, mischievous energy with a slightly archaic, poster-like attitude. Its sharp turns, wedge terminals, and quirky detailing give it a theatrical, attention-grabbing tone that feels more expressive than neutral, and more crafted than purely geometric.
The design appears intended to prioritize distinctive texture and personality over neutral readability, using sharp cut-ins and wedge terminals to create a recognizable word-shape. Its high-contrast, carved look suggests a deliberate nod to gothic or woodtype-inspired forms, reinterpreted in a more eccentric, custom display style.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, carved construction, and the numerals follow the same narrow, angular logic for cohesive titling. The sample text shows strong vertical striping and a lively baseline texture created by repeated wedges and internal notches, which becomes the font’s defining visual signature.
