A heavy, condensed sans with blocky silhouettes and intentionally irregular contours. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with squared terminals and angular joins that create a chipped, cut-out rhythm across words. Counters are small and often boxy, and spacing feels tight, emphasizing compact vertical columns and a strong, stamp-like mass on the page. The overall construction stays upright and geometric, but the edges wobble just enough to suggest a rough, analog process.
Best suited for display use where texture and weight can carry the message: posters, album/mixtape art, event flyers, game titles, and packaging with an industrial or handmade theme. It can also work for logos or badges when a stamped, cut-out look is desired. For longer passages or small sizes, the tight counters and dense color may reduce clarity.
This font projects a gritty, DIY energy with a slightly ominous edge. The chunky, cut-paper feel and uneven texture read as handmade and industrial rather than polished or corporate. Overall it gives off a poster-ready, underground tone that feels assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in short bursts of text, using dense forms and compressed proportions to create a bold wall of type. The subtly irregular edges and squarish counters suggest a deliberate roughness aimed at adding texture and attitude rather than neutrality.
The numerals and uppercase share the same compact, block-cut logic as the lowercase, producing a consistent, emblematic color across mixed-case settings. In sample text, the jagged internal notches and squarish apertures create a distinctive texture that becomes more pronounced as size increases.
