A condensed, right-slanted display face built from broken, stencil-like strokes. The letterforms are angular and slightly irregular, with sharp terminals and frequent internal cut-ins that create a distressed, segmented texture. Stems tend to be tall and narrow, counters are partially interrupted, and many glyphs show small notches and gouged shapes that make the silhouette feel chipped and mechanical. Overall rhythm is energetic rather than even, with deliberate inconsistencies that read as part of the design.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event graphics, album/merch artwork, punchy headlines, and stylized logos where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It can also work for themed interface elements or titles in games and experimental editorial layouts, especially when set at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The font projects a rough, off-kilter attitude—part industrial, part punk, with a wry, mischievous edge. Its distressed fragmentation adds tension and motion, giving text a hacked-together, high-energy feel that lands more expressive than refined.
The design appears intended to turn letterforms into a bold texture—combining a slanted, condensed skeleton with deliberate fractures and stencil-like interruptions to create an expressive, one-off display voice.
In continuous text the repeated cutouts create a strong surface pattern, so readability drops as sizes get smaller or spacing tightens. The slant and narrow proportions amplify a sense of speed, while the broken joins and notches keep the texture visibly present even in short words.
