A heavy, condensed sans with blocky, angular construction and minimal stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from straight segments and sharp corners, with slightly irregular contours that create a hand-cut, cut-paper feel rather than geometric precision. Counters are small and often squared-off, terminals are blunt, and the overall rhythm shows subtle width and alignment quirks that keep lines lively in text. Figures follow the same chunky, faceted approach, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for display use such as posters, event promos, headlines, and bold branding moments where texture and attitude are desirable. It can also work for packaging or album/cover art, especially in designs aiming for a retro or handmade aesthetic; for longer copy, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The font conveys an offbeat, energetic tone—part retro signage, part DIY zine—thanks to its jagged edges and intentionally uneven cadence. It feels bold and assertive but not corporate, leaning more toward playful menace or comic-book grit than friendly minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed presence with a deliberately roughened, angular finish—combining the efficiency of narrow capitals with an expressive, hand-crafted edge for attention-grabbing display typography.
In running text, the narrow build and tight internal spaces can make dense passages feel dark, while the irregularity adds character and movement. Short words and headlines benefit most from the distinctive silhouette and punchy, cut-out texture.
