Description

Static Was the Signal

Before everything became clear, there was noise.
Before the signal locked in, there was static.

This design captures that in-between state — the glitch moment where distortion becomes identity.

A minimal, premium streetwear piece built around a retro color signal disruption. Clean typography. Controlled chaos. Quiet confidence.

For those who remember when interference meant something.
