A compact, block-built display face with tall, condensed proportions and heavy rectangular stems. The letterforms are largely straight-sided and angular, with chamfered corners and occasional notches that give a slightly stenciled, cut-out feel. A distinctive feature is the irregular, dripping/fragmented treatment along the baseline: many glyphs appear to sprout small dangling shapes or broken “teeth,” creating a noisy lower edge while the tops remain comparatively solid. Counters are small and geometric, and terminals are mostly blunt, producing a rigid rhythm disrupted by the deliberate baseline distortion.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, game or stream graphics, album art, and event promos where texture and attitude are desired. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want a rigid, blocky silhouette with an intentionally corrupted baseline.
The overall tone feels edgy and unruly—part industrial signage, part glitch/grime texture. The dripping baseline detail adds a mischievous, slightly ominous character that reads as playful horror or punk poster energy rather than clean utility.
The design appears intended to combine a condensed, sign-painter-like block structure with an experimental “drip/glitch” modification to the lower edge, creating instant personality and movement without relying on curves or ornament elsewhere.
Legibility holds best at larger sizes where the baseline distortion reads as texture; at smaller sizes the dangling fragments may visually fill in and create a darker band along the bottom of words. Numerals and capitals share the same chiseled geometry and distressed base, keeping the set visually consistent for punchy headlines.
