A very heavy, upright display face with blocky, compact letterforms and uneven, hand-cut contours. Each glyph is punctured by irregular internal voids and narrow cut-through channels that read like carved slits, producing a broken, partially stenciled silhouette. Terminals and joins are inconsistent by design, with chipped edges and occasional asymmetry that give the alphabet a rough, printed-worn rhythm. Counters are often tight or interrupted, and the numerals and punctuation follow the same fractured, cutout construction for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and apparel graphics where the distressed cutouts can be appreciated. It can also work for branding in music, nightlife, or craft/industrial contexts, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is tough and tactile, evoking worn signage, screen-printed gig posters, and utilitarian marking systems. The distressed cut-throughs add urgency and grit, giving text a raw, urban energy rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with built-in texture—combining a strong block foundation with carved interruptions to mimic stencil wear, scraped paint, or degraded print.
Legibility holds up best at medium-to-large sizes where the internal cuts read as intentional detail; at small sizes the voids can visually fill in and some characters begin to merge. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, making long lines look like they share a single, deliberate print artifact.
