A heavy, stencil-like serif design with broken strokes and deliberate gaps that slice through bowls, stems, and crossbars. The letterforms feel constructed from bold slabs and curved segments, then “eroded” by irregular cutouts, creating a jittery rhythm and uneven texture across the line. Serifs are present but simplified and blocky, and the counters are frequently interrupted, producing a rugged, torn-print silhouette that stays readable at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, merchandise graphics, and edgy packaging where the distressed texture can read as a feature. It can also work for event promotion, title cards, and bold pull quotes, particularly when paired with simpler supporting type for body copy.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, evoking worn signage, DIY prints, and rough industrial labeling. Its distressed interruptions add a rebellious, streetwise energy and a sense of motion, as if the text has been scraped, stamped, or damaged over time.
The design appears intended to fuse classic slab-serif weight with a distressed, cut-and-splice treatment, prioritizing attitude and texture over neutrality. It aims to look like a one-off print or worn stencil application while keeping recognizability through sturdy silhouettes.
The distress pattern is relatively consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive “broken stencil” identity. In longer text, the internal gaps become a dominant texture, so spacing and size will strongly affect clarity—especially for smaller details in tight settings.
