Keywords: posters, headlines, album covers, game titles, event flyers, punk, mischievous, retro, rowdy, cartoon, grab attention, add attitude, create motion, quirky branding, angular, chiseled, spiky, faceted, condensed.
A heavy, condensed display face with sharply angled, faceted strokes and frequent wedge-like terminals. The letterforms lean forward and feel cut from hard edges rather than drawn with smooth curves, creating a jagged rhythm across words. Counters are tight and often polygonal, while diagonals and notches introduce deliberate irregularity that keeps the texture lively and unpredictable. Overall proportions are compact with tall, upright silhouettes, and the numerals echo the same carved, chunky geometry.
Best used for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, album or playlist art, game titles, and event flyers where a bold, quirky voice is desirable. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want an intentionally irregular, hand-cut feel, but it is less suitable for small sizes or dense reading blocks due to its heavy texture and angular detailing.
The font reads loud and unruly, with a playful aggression that feels suited to energetic, offbeat messaging. Its sharp facets and exaggerated slant give it a mischievous, punk-leaning attitude, while the stylized shapes also nod to retro poster and cartoon title aesthetics. The overall tone is attention-seeking and cheeky rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful voice by combining condensed proportions with faceted, chiseled shapes and a forward lean. Its consistent use of wedge terminals and cut-in notches suggests a deliberate strategy to create motion and attitude while staying visually cohesive across the set.
In longer text the dense weight and jagged details build a strong black texture, so it benefits from generous tracking and moderate line spacing. The most distinctive personality comes from the repeated chisel cuts and wedge terminals, which create a consistent “carved” motif across caps, lowercase, and figures.
