A heavy, condensed italic with chunky strokes and chiseled, irregular edges. Forms are built from angular, segmented contours with frequent faceting at corners and terminals, creating a rough-cut silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are tight and sometimes asymmetrical, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with small variations in stroke edges that read like distressed inking or stamped texture. Capitals and lowercase share a compact, forward-leaning stance; numerals match the same blocky, cutaway construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, album/track art, branding marks, stickers, and punchy packaging callouts. It can work for brief blurbs or taglines when set with generous size and spacing, where the rough-cut detailing remains legible.
The letterforms project a loud, playful attitude with a slightly chaotic, hand-made roughness. Its slanted, jagged construction feels action-oriented and irreverent, suggesting comic energy, arcade-era exuberance, or punky poster grit rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint while adding a deliberate rough, carved texture. By combining condensed proportions, a strong slant, and irregular faceting, it aims to feel energetic and unconventional—more like a graphic prop than a neutral text face.
The texture becomes more apparent in longer text, where the irregular edges create a vibrating surface that boosts character but can reduce clarity at small sizes. The narrow set and tight internal spaces make the font feel dense and impactful, especially in all-caps.
