A quirky inline display face built from thin, monoline outlines with frequent interior knockouts and breaks. Many capitals read as skeletal frames: some are constructed from parallel vertical rails, while others are rounded forms with irregular, chipped-looking cut-ins that create a hollowed perimeter. Stroke joins and terminals are intentionally uneven, producing a distressed, pieced-together rhythm; counters often feel partially opened or obstructed by internal fragments. Lowercase appears much more conventional and solid, creating a deliberate contrast between a straightforward text skeleton and highly treated caps and figures.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and branding where the textured inline structure can be appreciated. It can work well for signage-leaning layouts or packaging that benefits from an industrial, crafted feel; using uppercase selectively as emphasis alongside the simpler lowercase helps maintain readability.
The overall tone feels industrial and weathered, like lettering cut from sheet material, etched, or assembled from salvaged parts. Its irregular voids and broken contours add an experimental, slightly gritty character that reads more like crafted signage than neutral typography.
The design appears intended to provide a decorative, hollowed-out uppercase and numeral set that functions as a visual accent, paired with a more utilitarian lowercase for supporting text. The irregular internal cutouts suggest an aim for a distressed, fabricated look—evoking cut, carved, or worn lettering rather than smooth geometric precision.
In mixed-case settings, the stark stylistic split between the clean lowercase and the highly treated uppercase becomes a key feature, giving designers a built-in hierarchy and accent system. The outline construction stays light on the page, while the internal cutouts add visual activity that can become busy at small sizes or in dense lines.
