A bold, stencil-adjacent display face with interrupted strokes and eroded counters that create a broken, spray/print-wear texture throughout. Letterforms are largely geometric and upright, with broad curves in C/G/O and sturdy verticals, but the outlines are intentionally uneven and pitted, producing small voids and nicks inside strokes and at terminals. The texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving a cohesive distressed rhythm while preserving clear silhouettes at display sizes.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, cover art, merch graphics, and branding where a rough, industrial attitude is desired. It can also support punchy UI labels or section headers in themed experiences, provided the setting size is generous to keep the distressed details from filling in.
The overall tone feels gritty and utilitarian, like lettering that’s been repeatedly printed, sanded, or painted through a worn mask. It reads as tough, urban, and a little chaotic, with a DIY edge that suggests motion and noise rather than polish.
The design appears intended to combine sturdy, readable display construction with a deliberate layer of wear and interruption, evoking stencil painting, degraded printing, and rough-cut signage. The goal is strong presence first, with texture supplying the personality and theme.
The built-in fragmentation reduces clarity at small sizes and in long passages, but it adds instant character in headlines. Rounded forms carry more visible breakpoints, while straighter letters present as chunkier, more modular shapes.
