A compact, condensed sans with heavy, rounded strokes and a visibly rough print texture throughout the forms. Counters are small and simple, terminals are blunt, and curves have a slightly lumpy, hand-inked feel rather than perfect geometry. The distressing shows as speckling, nicks, and uneven edges, giving each glyph a stamped or worn-marker appearance while maintaining clear silhouettes and a consistent rhythm across the set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging fronts, product labels, and merchandise graphics where texture is an asset. It can also work for brand marks or event promos that benefit from a worn, handcrafted signal, while extended small-size text may lose some clarity due to the dense strokes and interior speckling.
The overall tone is casual and energetic, with a gritty, DIY character that feels tactile and imperfect in an intentional way. It reads as friendly and approachable, but with enough abrasion to suggest vintage ephemera, workshop signage, or screen-printed graphics.
The design intent reads as a condensed display face that delivers strong contrast and presence while adding analog grit through consistent distressing. It appears aimed at creating an instant tactile, printed look without needing additional effects.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact, reinforcing a poster-like density. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same rugged texture, and the dotted i/j and small joins keep legibility intact despite the heavy distress.
