A condensed, forward-leaning display face built from heavy, blocky letterforms that are repeatedly broken by irregular horizontal gaps. The silhouette stays fairly consistent and upright in structure, but the interior “cuts” and chipped edges create a fragmented rhythm, as if the ink has cracked or the shapes were masked and peeled away. Counters are tight and often partially obstructed, and terminals tend to end in blunt, slab-like forms with occasional ragged protrusions. The lowercase largely mirrors the uppercase’s stout, constructed feel, while the numerals follow the same distressed segmentation for a unified set.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications where texture is part of the message—posters, album and game titles, event flyers, streetwear graphics, and punchy editorial headlines. It can work for logo-style wordmarks when set large, but it’s less appropriate for long passages or small UI text due to the intentional fragmentation.
The overall tone is scrappy and confrontational, with a DIY, worn-down energy that reads as playful troublemaking rather than refined polish. Its broken strokes suggest grit, noise, and movement—like something stamped, weathered, or hacked together for attention.
This design appears intended to deliver an immediate distressed impact while keeping a recognizable, constructed skeleton underneath. The consistent horizontal “fracture” motif suggests a deliberate texture system meant to unify all glyphs and give layouts a rough, stamped-to-damaged personality.
The repeated horizontal breaks create strong texture across lines of text, but they also reduce character distinctness at smaller sizes. In the sample paragraph, the pattern produces a consistent “shredded” banding that becomes the main visual feature, so spacing and size choice will heavily influence readability.
