A slanted, high-contrast display face with sharply tapered terminals and irregular, brush-like stroke edges. Letterforms lean forward with a lively, uneven rhythm, mixing angular cuts with occasional bulbous flare points at corners and joins. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, and the silhouettes feel intentionally restless rather than mechanically consistent, giving the set a chiseled-yet-inked look.
Best suited to short-form display settings where its texture can be appreciated—posters, titles, packaging callouts, and expressive branding accents. It works well when you want a handcrafted, unconventional feel and can give generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, like a hastily painted sign or a stylized, slightly chaotic headline. Its energetic slant and jagged detailing create a sense of motion and attitude, leaning into a playful, offbeat personality rather than refinement.
Likely designed to provide an intentionally irregular, energetic italic voice that feels handmade and distinctive on impact. The exaggerated contrast and rough, angular detailing appear aimed at creating a memorable, one-off headline style with a strong graphic signature.
In text lines, the font maintains strong momentum and a distinctive texture, but the aggressive terminals and irregular contours make it visually busy at smaller sizes. The numerals match the same spiky, hand-worked character, supporting cohesive display use across letters and figures.
