A heavy, right-slanted display face with sharp, chiseled terminals and pronounced internal cut-ins that create a carved, faceted silhouette. Strokes show abrupt thickness shifts and wedge-like joins, producing a punchy rhythm and strong black/white patterning in counters and apertures. Letterforms are generally wide with irregular, intentionally uneven edge behavior that reads as hand-shaped rather than strictly geometric, while maintaining consistent overall slant and mass across the set.
Best used for headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where high impact and strong texture are desirable. It can also work for logos or packaging that benefits from a distinctive, cut-metal or stencil-like feel, especially when set large with generous line spacing.
The font projects a loud, kinetic personality—part retro poster lettering, part playful cutout. Its aggressive angles and chunky weight feel attention-grabbing and slightly mischievous, suited to designs that want motion and attitude more than refinement.
The design intention appears to be an expressive display sans that emphasizes speed, punch, and visual texture through slant, aggressive angularity, and carved countershapes. It prioritizes character and graphic presence over neutrality, making it a strong choice when typography should act as an illustration-like element.
Spacing appears tight in words at display sizes, with many letters relying on narrow apertures and notches for differentiation; this boosts texture but can reduce clarity in smaller settings. Numerals share the same faceted, wedge-driven construction, keeping the set cohesive for headlines and short bursts of copy.
