A heavy, block-built display face with broad proportions and squared geometry. Letterforms are constructed from chunky segments with frequent internal breaks and notches, creating a stencil-like structure and a fragmented silhouette. Edges appear worn and uneven, as if from rough printing or distressed paint, producing a mottled rhythm across strokes. Counters are compact and often partially interrupted, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S) are rendered as angular, segmented arcs rather than smooth bowls.
Best suited to large-scale applications where texture and impact are desired: posters, album/film titles, product packaging, labels, and environmental or wayfinding-style graphics. It also works well for thematic branding that needs a tough, utilitarian voice, but is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes due to the intentional fragmentation.
The font conveys a rugged, industrial tone—suggesting marked equipment, shipping crates, field signage, and sprayed lettering on hard surfaces. Its distressed texture adds grit and urgency, while the modular construction keeps it firmly functional rather than decorative.
Designed to emulate stenciled or mechanically marked lettering that has been worn down through use—combining modular construction with deliberate breaks and print-like erosion to deliver a tough, industrial display presence.
In running text the repeated gaps and roughened stroke terminals create a strong pattern, with some characters relying on distinctive breaks for identification (e.g., E/F and O/Q-like shapes). The numerals follow the same segmented logic, keeping the set visually consistent for labeling and numbering applications.
