A compact, heavy, condensed sans with angular, cut-paper geometry and noticeably irregular stroke edges. Forms are built from straight segments and sharp corners, with slight waviness and uneven terminals that create a hand-made silhouette. Counters tend to be small and often squared or notched, and joins can look pinched or faceted, giving letters a carved, stencil-like snap without consistent stencil bridges. Overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with simplified shapes and a deliberately roughened outline that reads as graphic rather than typographically polished.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album/cover art, and game or entertainment titling where texture and attitude are desirable. It can work well in large sizes for branding accents or display lines, but the tight counters and rough edges make it less comfortable for long passages or small UI text.
The tone is quirky and energetic, with a DIY, punk-zine edge that feels playful but slightly menacing. Its jagged, hand-cut texture suggests spontaneity and attitude, making the text feel loud and attention-seeking rather than neutral. The condensed, blocky stance adds urgency and a poster-first character.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that prioritizes personality and a hand-cut, angular texture over neutrality. Its condensed vertical build and jagged detailing aim to deliver strong visual punch in titles and promotional typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similar structural logic, with the lowercase staying relatively upright and compact rather than cursive. Several glyphs show distinctive notches and asymmetries that help create character but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially where counters close up. Numerals match the same faceted, irregular construction for a cohesive set.
