A monoline, high-contrast display face whose strokes appear fractured into sharp triangular bites, leaving a stencil-like silhouette with frequent notches and missing segments. Letterforms are built from straight runs and crisp angles, with occasional curved bowls that still carry the same chipped perimeter treatment. The texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a rhythmic pattern of sawtooth interruptions along stems, shoulders, and counters; spacing reads slightly uneven by design, reinforcing the irregular, broken construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications where texture is an asset: posters, album covers, club/event flyers, game titles, and punchy editorial pull quotes. It can also work for tech-themed or cyberpunk-inspired branding accents, where the glitch-like perimeter adds attitude without needing additional graphics.
The overall tone feels like a digital glitch or shredded print—nervy, abrasive, and intentionally unstable. It suggests interference, fragmentation, and a DIY experimental energy, turning otherwise familiar forms into a tense, high-frequency pattern.
The design appears intended to remix a straightforward sans foundation with a repeated jagged “corruption” motif, producing a decorative, one-off voice that reads as broken, noisy, and digitally disrupted. Its goal is less about neutral readability and more about creating an unmistakable textured presence.
In text settings the repeated triangular cutouts create a strong surface texture that can dominate at smaller sizes, while larger sizes reveal the intentional patterning and the balance between solid strokes and carved-out voids. The distressed treatment is systematic rather than random, helping the alphabet hold together despite the aggressive fragmentation.
