A heavy, block-leaning sans built from discrete, rectangular “chip” elements that create a quantized silhouette with frequent internal gaps. The strokes read as chunky and uneven, with deliberate fragmentation that produces a worn, broken surface across straight stems and curved bowls alike. Corners tend toward squared geometry, counters are partially eroded, and joins often appear interrupted, giving characters a stamped, imperfect rhythm. Overall spacing and widths vary by glyph, with compact forms sitting alongside broader ones, reinforcing a raw, cut-and-paste texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, cover art, game titles, splash screens, packaging accents, and attention-grabbing labels. It performs particularly well when the goal is to add grit and texture to display typography, especially on solid backgrounds where the broken counters remain legible.
The font conveys a gritty, utilitarian tone—like paint rubbed off metal, degraded printing, or a battered stencil. Its broken texture adds tension and attitude, suggesting urgency, noise, and a DIY or street-level energy rather than polish.
The design appears intended as a display face that merges a pixel-structured build with a distressed, stencil-like wear pattern, prioritizing texture and attitude over clean continuity. It aims to deliver a tough, industrial voice with an intentionally degraded print feel.
At larger sizes the mosaic-like construction reads clearly as intentional modular damage; at smaller sizes the fragmentation can visually fill in or break apart depending on background and contrast. The distressed pattern is fairly consistent across the set, which helps maintain cohesion even as individual letterforms vary in density and gap placement.
