A heavy, blocky sans with angular, chiseled contours and frequent notches that make many strokes feel cut, cracked, or partially removed. The forms are mostly rectilinear with slightly bowed sides in some letters, producing an uneven rhythm that looks intentionally rough rather than geometric. Counters are compact and often irregular, and several joins and terminals break into hard steps or sharp wedges, reinforcing a rugged, constructed texture across words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, packaging hits, and brand marks that want an assertive, distressed edge. It also works well for entertainment and music contexts (album/merch graphics) and for thematic titles where an industrial or urban mood is desired.
The overall tone is tough and confrontational, with a distressed, streetwise energy. Its cutout-like interruptions evoke industrial signage and DIY printing, giving the type a raw, gritty character that reads as bold, loud, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to merge a bold sans foundation with a distressed, cut-and-notched construction, prioritizing texture and attitude over neutrality. Its irregular shaping suggests it was drawn to feel printed, worn, or mechanically carved while still maintaining clear, compact letter silhouettes for display use.
The texture created by the repeated internal nicks and stepped edges becomes more prominent at larger sizes, where the deliberate irregularities read as a defining graphic feature. In longer text blocks the dense weight and broken details can reduce clarity, but the distinctive silhouette remains strong.
