A condensed, tall display face with low-contrast strokes and deliberately disrupted construction. Many glyphs show clipped terminals, small notches, and intermittent breaks through stems and bowls, creating a fragmented, cut-and-splice look while keeping the overall letter skeleton legible. Curves are simplified into compact ovals and narrow arches, and straight strokes tend to be rigid and vertical with occasional irregularities that make widths and counters feel inconsistent by design. The overall texture is crisp and graphic rather than calligraphic, with a jittery rhythm across words.
Best suited to display contexts where personality matters more than smooth reading—posters, headlines, album/mixtape art, event flyers, packaging, and bold editorial callouts. It can also work for short brand phrases or labels when you want an intentionally odd, DIY energy.
The font reads as eccentric and mischievous—like signage that’s been distressed, hacked, or improvised. Its purposeful imperfections give it a humorous, experimental tone that can feel retro-industrial or zine-like depending on setting and spacing.
The design intention appears to be creating a recognizable, one-off voice by destabilizing a familiar condensed sans structure with strategic breaks, clipped joins, and uneven detailing. It aims for memorable texture and character while maintaining enough underlying geometry to stay readable at display sizes.
At text sizes the internal breaks and notches become the dominant identifying feature, adding sparkle but also visual noise. The tight, tall forms make it space-efficient, yet the irregular interruptions can reduce readability in long passages; it works best when the “glitchy” texture is allowed to be part of the message.
