A heavy display sans built from angular, wedge-like strokes and sharply notched joins. Forms are slightly slanted with a lively, uneven rhythm, and many counters are small or partially enclosed, creating a dense, punchy texture. Terminals often end in pointed corners or clipped facets, and curves are reduced to taut, geometric bends. Width and internal shapes vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-cut, poster-like construction rather than a strictly modular system.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and short punchy statements where its aggressive angles and dense color can dominate the page. It also fits packaging, album/cover art, event promos, and title cards that benefit from a bold, stylized, retro-leaning display look.
The overall tone feels loud and mischievous, with a vintage-cartoon and punk zine energy. Its jagged silhouettes and compressed interior spaces read as assertive and playful at the same time, suggesting motion and attitude more than refinement.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum impact through sharp geometry, compact counters, and a kinetic slant, echoing hand-cut signage and comic title lettering. The design prioritizes character and immediacy over uniformity, aiming for a distinctive display voice that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The design’s strong silhouette holds up well at large sizes, but the tight counters and irregular widths can make extended text feel busy. Numerals and capitals carry the same faceted logic as the lowercase, keeping a consistent, rugged voice across mixed settings.
