Description

This typeface is a slanted display type with unorthodox anatomy, a dynamic rhythmic structure, movement expression, and intense visual language. An eccentric rebel with ribbon-like moves, a balanced extrovert that makes meticulous use of ink traps. The design is built by balancing sharp angles and venturous curves. The stems are spiky, and they vary in width. The fonts are slanted and unicase. It has condensed proportions, moderate weight contrast, spacious counters, and pointy terminals. It is meant for large display settings to make the most out of the precise outlines and clean intersections. The font styles: 'Sharp' has straight paths and precise intersections. 'Round' has the same outlines but with round corners. 'Stamp' has irregular wavy contours and heavy swelling at intersections.
