A condensed, heavy display face built from chunky, angular strokes with largely uniform thickness. Letterforms are tall and compact, with tight counters and squared-off bowls that often show small notches, cuts, and slight kinks as if drawn with a marker or brush and then sharpened. Terminals tend to be flat or wedge-like, and curves are simplified into faceted arcs, producing an energetic, slightly uneven rhythm across words. The overall texture is dense and dark, with small apertures and a strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album/cover art, and bold signage. It performs well when you want dense, dark typographic color and a handmade edge, especially at medium to large sizes where the tight counters and small details remain clear.
The tone feels bold and streetwise, mixing a handmade roughness with a quirky, cartoon-like snap. Its irregular edges and compact forms convey urgency and attitude, while the simplified geometry keeps it approachable rather than formal. It suggests retro poster lettering, DIY signage, and expressive headline typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while retaining a drawn-by-hand feel. By combining heavy strokes with angular simplifications and small irregularities, it aims for a distinctive display voice that feels energetic, rough, and informal rather than polished or corporate.
Capitals read as sturdy and monolithic, while lowercase keeps the same compressed stance with occasional asymmetries that reinforce the hand-drawn character. Numerals are narrow and blocky, matching the letterforms’ faceted construction and tight internal spaces.
