A heavy, condensed italic with chunky, softened corners and subtly irregular contours that feel inked or hand-cut. Strokes are mostly monoline with slight modulation and occasional swelling, giving letters a lively, imperfect edge rather than a rigid geometric build. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, while terminals often end in blunt, rounded shapes that reinforce the dense, poster-like color. The overall rhythm is upright in structure but consistently forward-leaning, with a tall lowercase presence and compact spacing that reads as bold and immediate.
Best suited for short, high-impact text where density and weight are assets—posters, headlines, labels, and bold branding moments. It also works well for casual packaging, merch, and social graphics where a rugged, handcrafted display voice is desired, but it may feel heavy for long-form reading.
The tone is bold and spirited, with a casual, handmade grit that suggests speed and impact. Its slant and compressed forms evoke vintage display lettering and print ephemera, giving it a confident, slightly mischievous personality.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while retaining a handmade, printed character. The goal appears to be a bold display style that feels informal and tactile, combining a consistent forward slant with deliberately imperfect edges for personality.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and block-driven, while lowercase letters introduce more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in bowls and descenders), increasing the informal, drawn feel. Numerals match the same chunky, condensed construction, maintaining consistent weight and presence in mixed settings.
