A heavy, angular display face built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, with octagonal bowls and squared terminals throughout. Edges are deliberately roughened with small chips and notches, creating an eroded, printed-worn look while keeping the underlying geometry clear. Counters tend to be compact and often polygonal, and joins favor sharp diagonals over curves; the lowercase follows the same hard-edged construction with sturdy stems and simplified forms. Overall spacing reads fairly tight and dense, producing a dark, poster-like texture in words and lines.
Best suited to large sizes where the chipped detailing can be appreciated—posters, covers, title cards, and bold packaging or merchandise graphics. It can also work for short subheads and callouts, but extended text may feel heavy and busy due to the dark color and distressed texture.
The tone is aggressive and streetwise, mixing a utilitarian, machine-cut structure with a scuffed, distressed finish. It suggests DIY grit—appropriate for loud, high-impact messaging with a slightly ominous or rebellious edge.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography by combining a rigid, faceted, almost stencil-like skeleton with intentional wear and tear. The goal is a rugged, attention-grabbing voice that feels manufactured yet battered, emphasizing attitude over refinement.
The distressed treatment appears consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with repeated nicks along outer edges and occasional interior scarring that adds texture without fully breaking letter recognition. The polygonal construction is especially apparent in round characters like C, G, O, Q, and 0–9, giving the set a cohesive, faceted rhythm.
