A sharply angular, blackletter-adjacent display face built from chunky vertical strokes and clipped, octagonal corners. Letterforms are largely monolinear to moderately contrasted, with heavy-looking stems and frequent chamfers that produce a mechanical, sign-like geometry. Many glyphs include deliberate irregularities—small bite-outs, notches, and rough edges—creating a distressed, cut-metal feel while keeping a consistent overall skeleton. The rhythm is compact and blocky in caps, with simpler, slightly narrower lowercase forms that maintain the same hard-edged construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, album covers, and promotional graphics where its jagged detailing and octagonal construction can be appreciated. It can also work for themed packaging or signage-inspired layouts, but the distressed edges and compact interiors make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The tone is offbeat and slightly abrasive, mixing old-world gothic cues with a playful, hacked-up roughness. It reads as bold and attention-seeking, with a DIY, punk-poster energy that feels intentionally imperfect rather than purely historical.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful display voice by combining chamfered gothic structure with controlled distressing. The goal is likely to feel handmade and unconventional while remaining readable and rhythmically consistent across the alphabet and figures.
Counters tend to be tight and polygonal, and the frequent corner clipping gives many forms a stop-sign silhouette. The numerals and uppercase set appear especially suited to headline use, where the distressed details remain legible and contribute texture.
