A condensed, all-caps–forward display face with tall, rectangular proportions and a distinctly hand-drawn construction. Strokes are chunky and mostly monolinear, with subtly irregular edges and small width fluctuations that create a printed-by-hand rhythm. Curves are minimized into squared counters and tight apertures, while joins and terminals often look clipped or slightly chipped, reinforcing a rough, inked silhouette. The lowercase matches the uppercase’s narrow, vertical stance, producing a tall x-height feel and a dense, compact texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its compact width and rough finish can add attitude—posters, covers, branding marks, packaging callouts, and short headlines. It can also work for labels or themed graphics where a handmade, stamped aesthetic is desired, while longer body text will benefit from generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is gritty and homemade, like quick marker lettering translated into a stenciled or stamped print. Its narrow, assertive shapes read as tough and energetic, with a lightly distressed character that suggests DIY posters, underground flyers, or hand-cut signage.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-rendered block lettering while retaining a consistent, repeatable set of forms. Its condensed build prioritizes impact and economy of space, and the slightly weathered outlines add a deliberate, tactile print character.
Spacing appears fairly tight and the condensed build creates strong vertical rhythm; in longer lines it produces a dark, compact color. The squared counters and irregular stroke edges add personality, but the texture can become busy at smaller sizes, favoring headline and short-form use.
