A heavy, block-structured sans with squared proportions and straight-sided geometry, rendered with aggressively distressed counters and edges. The letterforms are built from chunky segments with irregular voids punched through strokes, creating a broken, chipped texture while preserving clear silhouettes. Rounds (C, O, G) stay broadly circular but appear bitten away, and joins/terminals read as blunt slabs rather than smooth curves. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the overall rhythm stays sturdy and compact, with a consistent, screenprint-like fragmentation across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, headline treatments, album or gig artwork, and bold branding moments that want a worn or stenciled feel. It can also work for short labels or badges, but extended paragraphs may lose clarity due to the internal erosion.
The overall tone feels gritty and hard-edged, like worn signage, stamped crate markings, or a degraded print pulled from a rough stencil. The repeated speckled breaks add a noisy, rebellious energy that reads more underground and industrial than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to combine strong, utilitarian block letterforms with deliberate degradation, delivering an instantly “used” or weathered look without sacrificing overall legibility. It prioritizes impact and texture over smoothness, evoking stamped, painted, or screenprinted lettering that has been abraded over time.
Texture is integral rather than incidental: the interior breakup repeats consistently from glyph to glyph, so the font reads as a cohesive distressed system. At smaller sizes the holes and chips can merge visually, so it benefits from generous scale and strong contrast backgrounds.
