A heavy, all-caps–leaning display face with squared, modular construction and frequent stencil-like breaks in strokes and counters. Forms are built from thick, blunt segments with slightly rounded corners, and the edges look roughened as if printed through worn ink or a distressed mask. Counters tend to be boxy and partially occluded, with occasional gaps that create a cut-out rhythm across bowls and horizontals. Spacing reads open and confident, and the overall texture stays consistently rugged across letters and numerals.
Works best for posters, headlines, and short bursts of text where the distressed texture can read clearly. It suits signage-inspired graphics, product labels, and high-contrast applications like album art or event promotions that want an industrial, stamped presence. Avoid very small sizes or dense paragraphs where the internal breaks may visually fill in.
The tone is utilitarian and tough, evoking signage, equipment marking, and high-impact packaging. The distressed interruptions add a sense of wear, urgency, and street-level grit while the geometric structure keeps it disciplined and legible at display sizes. Overall it feels assertive, modern-industrial, and slightly confrontational.
The design appears intended to combine a sturdy geometric skeleton with deliberate wear, mimicking stenciling or rough screen/letterpress output. Its goal is impact and attitude—communicating durability and grit while retaining a structured, engineered letterform system.
The stencil breaks are a defining feature, appearing across multiple characters (notably in rounded forms and horizontal strokes), which creates a repeating pattern in text. Numerals match the same cut-and-wear language, keeping a cohesive, stamped look. The lowercase follows the same construction, reading more like compact, engineered variants than handwritten forms.
