A distressed, angular display face built from chunky blackletter-like silhouettes that look chopped, cracked, and reassembled. Strokes are heavy but intermittently broken by sharp slits and missing wedges, creating frequent interior voids and irregular counters. The geometry favors pointed terminals, jagged edges, and uneven join behavior, with noticeably inconsistent widths from glyph to glyph that adds a hand-cut, collage-like rhythm. Numerals and lowercase share the same fractured treatment, keeping the texture dense and highly graphic across lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, music artwork, event flyers, packaging callouts, or logotypes that want a distressed, disruptive texture. It works particularly well when set large, with slightly open spacing to keep the fractured details from filling in.
The overall tone feels anarchic and mischievous—like torn poster type or stencil fragments pulled from a zine. Its rough interruptions and spiky contours give it a rebellious, DIY energy that reads loud and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to remix traditional gothic/blackletter proportions into an experimental, torn-and-slashed display style. Its deliberate fragmentation and uneven rhythm prioritize character and texture over neutrality, aiming for a raw, handcrafted statement.
At text sizes the repeated internal cuts create a strong surface pattern, so readability depends heavily on size and tracking. The black coverage is substantial, and the irregular breaks help prevent large dark blobs while preserving an aggressive silhouette.
