A heavy, compact sans with simplified geometry and broad, dark letterforms. The overall construction reads as a sturdy display grotesk, but each glyph is interrupted by irregular, organic voids that appear like chipped paint or worn ink, creating an inverted cut-out effect inside the strokes. Curves are broadly rounded (notably in C, G, O, S), while many joins and terminals stay blunt and squared, producing a strong, poster-ready silhouette. Counters are generally open and simple, and the texture varies per glyph, giving the face a deliberately weathered, printed-on-rough-surface look.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, album/track artwork, apparel graphics, and promotional flyers where texture is a feature rather than a distraction. It can work for short punchy callouts and packaging accents, but is less ideal for small sizes or dense body copy due to the distressed interior detail.
The worn cut-outs and heavy silhouettes convey a gritty, street-level tone—part industrial signage, part punk flyer. It feels assertive and slightly chaotic, with a DIY, analog-print attitude that suggests age, abrasion, and impact rather than polish.
The design appears intended to merge a solid, high-impact sans foundation with an intentionally degraded interior texture, evoking worn signage, screen-printed ink breakdown, or scraped stencil paint. The goal is to deliver instant bold presence while adding a built-in grunge layer that makes otherwise simple letterforms feel lived-in and aggressive.
In longer text, the internal erosion becomes a repeating pattern that adds visual noise and motion; it reads best when given space and size. The irregular cut-outs can reduce clarity in tight settings, but they also create a distinctive brandable texture across headlines.
