A jagged, angular display face built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with many letters showing octagonal or chamfered turns. Forms are mostly monoline in construction but are heavily disrupted by irregular cutouts, chips, and blotchy voids that create a distressed, eroded surface. Counters are often geometric (notably in O/0-like shapes), while other glyphs mix rigid verticals with fractured diagonals. The texture is inconsistent by design, producing a broken rhythm and a deliberately unstable silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short headlines and punchy phrases where texture and attitude are the point—such as posters, album artwork, game/film titles, themed promotions, and rough-edged branding accents. It can also work as a secondary display font paired with a cleaner text face to keep longer copy readable.
The overall tone is abrasive and unruly, reading like worn signage or damaged lettering pulled from a horror, industrial, or DIY context. Its rough internal scarring and hard angles suggest menace and mischief more than polish, giving text a gritty, off-kilter personality.
This font appears designed to turn rigid, geometric letterforms into a distressed, fractured statement—prioritizing atmosphere and tactile damage over smooth continuity. The aim is a one-off display voice that feels carved, cracked, and intentionally imperfect.
The design leans on recognizable skeletons for legibility, but the interior distressing varies from glyph to glyph, creating a collage-like feel. Numerals and round letters emphasize faceted, almost emblematic counters, while many stems show vertical gouges that read as scratches or cracks.
