A compact, heavy sans with tall, condensed proportions and a deliberately irregular silhouette. Strokes are largely monoline, but terminals are frequently cut into sharp wedges and notches, creating a chiseled, hand-cut feel. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S are slightly faceted rather than perfectly round, while verticals stay firm and columnar. Counters are tight and geometric, and the overall rhythm alternates between straight-sided forms and pointed, blade-like joins, giving the alphabet a distinctive, carved look.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where the carved terminals and condensed heft can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when a quirky, retro flavor is desired, but the dense texture makes it less ideal for long-form reading.
The font reads as playful and eccentric, with a retro display energy that suggests posters, novelty packaging, and stylized titling. Its jagged terminals and uneven cuts add a mischievous, slightly gothic-carnival tone without becoming ornate. The dense color and narrow stance make it feel loud and attention-seeking, suited to short, punchy statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, using wedge-cut terminals and subtly faceted curves to create a distinctive, hand-shaped personality. It prioritizes characterful silhouettes and strong texture over neutrality, aiming for memorable display typography.
In the sample text, the strong vertical emphasis and tight spacing create a dark, continuous texture, while the wedge terminals help maintain character separation at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same cut-in, angular logic as the letters, staying bold and compact for consistent display impact.
