A heavy, block-built display face with compact counters and a largely solid interior silhouette. Letterforms lean on squared geometry with slightly rounded corners, and the strokes show deliberate irregularity—ragged edges, uneven terminals, and small notches that create a cut-out, stamped feel. The proportions are broad and commanding, with simplified joins and minimal interior detail, producing a dense, poster-ready texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Figures follow the same chunky construction, favoring bold silhouettes over fine distinctions.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, cover art, and bold packaging callouts where the rugged surface texture can read clearly. It can also work for labels, event graphics, or themed titles that benefit from a distressed, stamped look rather than continuous reading.
The overall tone is gritty and assertive, with a handmade, distressed character that feels more physical than polished. Its roughened edges and compressed internal space give it a rebellious, urban energy—suggesting stenciled signage, DIY packaging, or a bold comic/title card sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a tactile, imperfect finish—prioritizing silhouette strength and a rough, cut-out texture over clean interior clarity. It aims for immediate attention and a distinctive, gritty voice in display typography.
In the sample text, the dense interiors and tight apertures reduce fine differentiation at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize the rhythmic “chipped” texture along the contours. The lowercase maintains the same blocky mass as the uppercase, reinforcing a unified, all-caps-like impact across mixed-case text.
