This typeface is built from chunky, rectangular silhouettes with sharp angles and uneven, hand-cut edges. Strokes are heavy and fairly consistent in thickness, but contours wobble subtly, creating a rough, tactile outline. Counters are narrow and often off-center, and many glyphs show chiseled-looking notches and slight asymmetries that break the grid. Spacing and sidebearings vary noticeably from letter to letter, producing an intentionally restless rhythm in text.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, album/EP artwork, event flyers, and bold editorial headlines where its distressed shapes can be appreciated. It can also work for streetwear branding or packaging that wants a raw, screen-printed feel. Avoid long passages of small text where the tight counters and irregular rhythm may hinder readability.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, with a DIY, cut-paper energy that feels at home in underground graphics. Its roughened geometry reads as bold and rebellious rather than polished or corporate, suggesting urgency and noise. The texture evokes screen-printed posters, photocopied flyers, and distressed signage.
The design appears intended to translate a hand-made, cut-and-paste aesthetic into a heavy sans letterform system. It prioritizes impact and texture over neutrality, using controlled irregularity to create an expressive, poster-ready voice.
At larger sizes the irregular cuts and tight counters become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes those interior spaces can start to close up and reduce clarity. The digit set follows the same blocky, distressed construction, keeping headlines and numbering visually consistent.
