A condensed, heavy display face with a tall, blocky silhouette and subtly irregular outlines. Strokes feel monolinear and cut with slightly wavering edges, producing a handmade, rough-printed texture. Counters are tight and vertical, with simplified, squared forms and occasional asymmetric notches that create a bouncy rhythm across words. Spacing and letterfit read intentionally compact, helping the type form dense, punchy headlines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like posters, event titles, packaging callouts, and album or game cover typography. It also works well for humorous branding moments or labels where a rough, energetic voice is desired, especially at larger sizes where the irregular edges become part of the charm.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, leaning into a cartoonish, DIY energy rather than polish. Its uneven edges and exaggerated narrowness give it a lively, slightly chaotic personality that feels attention-grabbing and humorous.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while adding character through rough-cut, slightly inconsistent contours. It prioritizes personality and texture over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive display voice that feels handmade and animated.
The figures match the same tall, compressed construction and hold up as bold headline numerals. The texture is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, and the irregularities read as a deliberate stylistic motif rather than damage or noise.
