A compact, all-caps-forward display face with chunky verticals and tightly fitted counters. The letterforms are built from blocky, rectilinear shapes, but their edges are irregular and chipped, as if cut from worn metal or stamped with a rough plate. Many glyphs show deliberate interior voids and notch-like cut-outs that interrupt strokes, creating a high-contrast figure/ground effect and a distinctly “punched” silhouette. Spacing feels tight and rhythmic, with small apertures and squared terminals that keep words dense and impactful.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album art, game UI labels, merch, or bold packaging panels where the rough cut-out texture can be appreciated. It can also work for wordmarks and badges when a gritty, stamped look is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes due to the tight counters and distressed detailing.
The overall tone is gritty and utilitarian, mixing a harsh industrial feel with a playful, game-like pixel/arcade energy. The distressed cut-outs and ragged contours suggest DIY printing, tactical labeling, or battered signage, giving the font an assertive, rebellious attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint, using stencil-like interruptions and inverted negative spaces to create texture and attitude. Its construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and a rugged, printed/marked surface effect over neutrality, aiming for immediate visual character in display contexts.
Lowercase follows the same construction as uppercase, with simplified bowls and strong vertical emphasis; punctuation and numerals keep the same chipped, stencil-like detailing. The texture is consistent across the set, so lines of text read as a continuous band of dark mass punctuated by small, irregular highlights.
