A heavy, expanded sans with chunky, segmented strokes and noticeably broken counters. The glyphs look as if they were built from stenciled parts: bowls and terminals often separate into short horizontal and vertical fragments, leaving deliberate gaps. Edges are irregular and slightly blobby, suggesting rough ink spread or worn printing, while the overall silhouette stays strongly geometric and uppercase-forward. Spacing and widths vary by character, creating a lively, uneven rhythm that reads more like a mark or imprint than a polished text face.
Best suited for display settings where texture is part of the message: posters, titles, logos, apparel graphics, and packaging that benefits from a rugged imprint aesthetic. It also fits industrial- or sci‑fi-leaning UI moments (e.g., level titles, faction names) when used at generous sizes and with ample tracking.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian tone—like distressed signage, crate markings, or equipment labeling that has been weathered and re-inked over time. Its fragmented construction adds tension and grit, giving it an underground, DIY energy with a faint sci‑fi/industrial edge.
The design appears intended to mimic worn, stenciled or stamped lettering—preserving a strong, wide silhouette while introducing controlled erosion and breakpoints to add character and attitude. It prioritizes impact and texture over smooth continuity, making the distressed construction the primary stylistic voice.
The distressed breaks are consistent enough to feel intentional rather than accidental, and they become a key identifying feature at larger sizes. At smaller sizes, the internal gaps and worn joins can reduce clarity, especially in tighter letter combinations.
