A condensed, heavy sans with an angular, faceted construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and many terminals are cut with sharp chamfers that create a rugged, almost stencil-adjacent silhouette without true breaks. Counters tend to be small and squarish, and the rhythm shows intentional irregularities—slight leaning cuts, asymmetric joins, and uneven interior shapes—giving the line a lively, handmade feel despite the blocky geometry. Lowercase forms are tall and compact, with tight apertures and simplified details that keep color dense at text sizes.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where impact matters more than delicate detail. It can work well for packaging, event graphics, sports branding, and game or entertainment UI titles where a compact, high-energy display voice is needed.
The overall tone is loud and emphatic, with a punchy, street-sign energy. Its chiseled corners and compact mass feel industrial and tough, while the slightly wonky cuts add a playful, offbeat character suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a tight width, using chamfered corners and intentionally irregular shaping to avoid a purely mechanical look. It balances bold, sign-like clarity with a distinctive, quirky edge for memorable display typography.
The design maintains a strong vertical stance and narrow footprint, helping it stack tightly in multi-line settings. The numerals and capitals share the same clipped-corner logic, producing consistent texture; the small counters and tight spacing suggest it will read best when given extra tracking and ample size.
