A slanted, angular display face with blocky, open counters and a squared-off construction. Strokes are largely monolinear, but the outlines are intentionally uneven, with dry-brush/rough-print texture that creates chipped edges and occasional wobble through stems and curves. Terminals tend to be blunt and flat, with corners often emphasized by sharp bends rather than smooth arcs, giving many letters a techno-stenciled silhouette. Spacing reads a bit irregular from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade, distressed rhythm in text and numbers.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, packaging callouts, album artwork, event graphics, and game or streaming overlays. It can also work for logos and wordmarks where a rough, industrial edge is desired, but the distressed detail may become noisy at small sizes or in long passages.
The overall tone feels gritty and improvised—like lettering made quickly with a marker or roller on a rough surface. Its slant and hard angles add speed and tension, while the distressed texture brings a worn, underground character suited to louder, more visceral messages.
The design appears intended to combine a geometric, techno-leaning structure with a deliberately degraded print/hand-ink finish. It prioritizes attitude and texture over polish, aiming for a rugged display voice that still maintains a consistent, readable skeleton.
The caps and numerals appear especially geometric and boxy, while the lowercase keeps the same angular logic with simplified forms and compact interior spaces. The texture remains consistent across the set, so the roughness reads as a deliberate stylistic layer rather than random noise.
