A tightly condensed display sans built from rigid, straight strokes and sharp corners. Letters are mostly rectangular and vertical, with occasional slanted cuts, notches, and asymmetric joints that give the outlines a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel. Counters are narrow and boxy, terminals are blunt, and several glyphs use distinctive wedge-like joins (notably in diagonals such as K, V, W, X). Numerals follow the same compact, geometric construction, maintaining a dense, poster-ready texture in lines of text.
Well suited to headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also works for short bursts of text such as labels, pull quotes, and album or game titles, especially when you want an industrial or urban flavor without resorting to overt decoration.
The overall tone feels tough and streetwise, with a DIY edge—like signage assembled from cut shapes or painted through simple masks. Its quirky irregularities keep it from feeling purely mechanical, adding a playful, slightly mischievous energy while still reading as bold and assertive.
The font appears designed as a condensed, high-contrast-in-silhouette display face that prioritizes impact and personality. Its angular cuts and slightly uneven constructions suggest an intention to evoke handmade signage or cut-letter forms while remaining firmly sans and structurally simple.
Spacing and silhouettes create a strong vertical rhythm, producing a dark, compact color in paragraphs and headlines. The design relies on silhouette recognition more than generous internal space, so it reads best when given room (larger sizes or looser tracking) where the angular details can be appreciated.
