A condensed, heavy display sans with angular, chiseled contours and uneven stroke edges. The letterforms are built from straight segments with frequent wedges, nicks, and notched corners, creating a cut-paper or carved look rather than smooth geometry. Counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, apertures are tight, and terminals often finish in sharp diagonals. Spacing feels compact and rhythmic, with subtle per-glyph irregularities that add a handmade, animated texture across words.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, album/film titles, game UI titles, and expressive packaging. It works particularly well where a comic-horror, punky, or retro-camp voice is desired, and where the texture can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly ominous—like a stylized horror poster or a vintage cartoon title card. Its jagged silhouettes and narrow proportions give it urgency and attitude, reading as playful aggression rather than formal seriousness.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum personality through a condensed, high-impact structure, using deliberate roughness and angular cuts to evoke hand-made lettering and dramatic signage. Its consistent chiseled motif suggests an intention to feel animated, edgy, and memorable in display contexts.
The design relies on silhouette recognition and strong vertical emphasis; many forms share tall stems and small, cut-in counters, which helps it hold together as a set. The figures follow the same carved, blocky logic, making numerals suitable for loud, attention-grabbing settings alongside the caps and lowercase.
