A condensed, tall display face built from rigid, rectangular strokes with sharp corners and occasional wedge-like terminals. The letterforms are largely monolinear in feel but show chiseled irregularities and rough, uneven edges that give a hand-cut, distressed texture. Most glyphs feature a carved inline channel that reads as a narrow internal cut or notch running through the strokes, creating a distinctive hollowed rhythm without fully outlining the shapes. Counters are tight and geometric, and spacing is compact, producing a dense, vertical color in text settings.
Best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and album or game title treatments where texture is an advantage. It can also work for packaging, badges, and bold labels that benefit from a rugged, cut-in inline detail and compact width.
The overall tone is gritty and assertive, with a raw, streetwise energy. Its rough carving and angular construction suggest DIY signage, underground posters, or rugged industrial labeling, leaning more rebellious than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining a hard-edged geometric skeleton with carved inline detailing and deliberate distress to create a loud, tactile, print-like presence.
The inline cutouts and distressed interiors introduce strong texture at larger sizes, while the narrow proportions and tight counters can become busy in long passages. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, engineered structure, keeping the set visually cohesive for impactful headlines and short bursts of copy.
