A condensed, all-caps–friendly display face with chunky, irregular strokes and a carved inline detail that runs through many stems and bars. Forms are upright with a narrow footprint and uneven, hand-hewn contours—edges wobble, terminals vary, and bowls are often faceted rather than smoothly round. Counters tend to be tight, and the overall rhythm is intentionally inconsistent, creating a rough texture across words. The inline cut reads like a scratch or chisel mark, adding internal contrast and preventing the heavy strokes from becoming a flat silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as posters, headlines, album covers, and event promotions where texture is an advantage. It can work for packaging accents or badges/logos when used large and with generous spacing, but is less appropriate for extended reading or small UI text.
The typeface projects a raw, energetic attitude with a DIY, distressed feel. Its jagged outlines and carved-in highlights evoke zines, gig posters, and gritty street graphics, balancing playfulness with a slightly menacing edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, condensed display voice with a carved inline accent and distressed outlines, maximizing presence while adding visual grit and movement. The irregular, hand-cut construction suggests an aim for expressive texture over neutral consistency.
Some glyphs lean toward polygonal construction (notably round characters and numerals), while others show more brushy wobble, reinforcing an intentionally handmade look. At smaller sizes the inline detailing and rough edges can visually merge, so it reads best when given room.
