A heavy sans with broad, geometric proportions and largely rounded corners, built from thick strokes and clean, simple silhouettes. The letterforms are interrupted by irregular cut-ins and voids that read like stencil breaks or distressed “bite marks,” creating abrupt notches and internal gaps across many glyphs. Counters tend to be open and simplified, and curves are drawn with a smooth, almost modular feel, while the intentional disruptions introduce a jagged, fractured rhythm. The overall texture is high-contrast in terms of solid mass versus cutout detail, producing a dense, poster-forward black shape on the page.
Best suited for short, high-impact display use such as posters, headlines, brand marks, album/cover art, and event promotion where the distressed cutouts can read as texture. It can work for punchy subheads or pull quotes at larger sizes, while extended body copy may feel busy due to the repeated disruptions.
The font projects a glitchy, disruptive energy—part industrial stencil, part playful vandalism. Its broken contours give it a rebellious, experimental voice that feels contemporary and street-influenced, with an undercurrent of tech-noise and distortion.
The design appears intended to take a straightforward geometric sans base and inject character through systematic breakpoints and irregular voids, turning a solid display face into a textured, attention-grabbing style. The goal seems to be recognizability and attitude over neutral readability.
In text settings the cutout features repeat often enough to create a visible surface pattern, which becomes a key part of its identity. The disruptions can visually compete with smaller counters in dense lines, so spacing and size will strongly affect clarity.
