A heavy, geometric sans with compact counters and blocky, largely monoline construction. The letterforms are filled solids that are repeatedly interrupted by irregular internal voids and cutouts, creating a collage-like, partially hollowed texture across many glyphs. Curves are broad and clean on the outside (notably in C, O, Q, S), while the interiors show jagged, inconsistent negative shapes and occasional thin-outline fragments that read like overprinted or masked layers. Spacing and widths vary noticeably between glyphs, producing an uneven rhythm that emphasizes the cutout patterning over uniform texture.
Best suited to display settings where texture and attitude are desirable—posters, album/merch graphics, attention-grabbing headlines, and bold packaging. It can work for short bursts of copy or branding marks, but the disruptive interiors make it less comfortable for extended reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone feels abrasive and experimental, mixing sturdy signage-like forms with disruptive internal knockouts. It suggests a DIY, subcultural energy—somewhere between stencil/label aesthetics and digital “glitch” vandalism—making text feel restless and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to take a straightforward, sturdy sans skeleton and inject it with irregular knockout shapes to create a distressed, cut-and-paste surface. The goal seems to be high-impact communication with a deliberately disrupted texture, evoking printing artifacts, masking, or fragmented overlays.
In running text the internal interruptions become a dominant texture, sometimes competing with counters and terminals; this increases visual noise and makes longer passages feel busy. The strongest impression comes at larger sizes where the negative-space breaks read as deliberate detail rather than incidental damage.
