A bold, display-oriented roman with heavy, rounded-rectilinear forms that are repeatedly interrupted by irregular horizontal cutouts. The strokes read as solid black masses, but the interior is broken into stripes and chips that vary from glyph to glyph, creating a deliberately inconsistent rhythm. Counters are often partially eaten away, and joins/terminals feel blunted and uneven, producing a rough, collage-like silhouette while maintaining clear baseline alignment and generally conventional letter skeletons.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, flyers, cover art, title cards, and promotional graphics where texture is part of the message. It can also work for themed applications—horror-comedy, retro arcade, punk/alt culture, or glitch aesthetics—especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is mischievous and disruptive—like printed type that’s been scraped, glitched, or partially erased. The uneven banding adds motion and noise, giving headlines a rebellious, DIY energy that can feel comedic, spooky, or punk depending on context.
The design appears intended to fuse a straightforward display roman structure with an aggressive distressed overlay, prioritizing personality and texture over typographic neutrality. Its irregular cutouts and non-uniform details suggest an aim to create instant visual character and a deliberately imperfect, experimental imprint.
Because the distressed striping is high-contrast and busy, the face reads best at larger sizes where the breaks become a recognizable texture rather than visual clutter. Similar letters can pick up distinctive “damage” patterns, which enhances the handmade/one-off feel but can reduce uniformity in long settings.
