A condensed display face with tall proportions and irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes are largely solid but split by a narrow inline channel that reads like a carved highlight, creating strong light–dark rhythm within each letterform. Edges are jagged and slightly warped, with angular joins and occasional wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a rough, chiseled texture. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, and the overall color is dense despite the internal cuts.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, and short titles where the inline carving and distressed texture can be appreciated. It can work well for entertainment graphics, album art, event flyers, and themed packaging, especially when a dramatic, handcrafted tone is desired.
The font projects a gritty, theatrical mood—part vintage poster, part horror-noir title card. Its carved inline effect adds tension and sparkle, while the distressed outlines keep it raw and rebellious rather than polished or formal.
Likely designed to mimic carved or scratched lettering—like inked woodcut type or hand-cut signage—while using an internal inline to add contrast and dimensionality. The goal appears to be maximum character and impact in compact, tall words rather than quiet readability.
The narrow set width and tall vertical emphasis make words feel stacked and urgent. The inline detailing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a unified texture in longer lines, though the rough edges can create visual noise at smaller sizes.
