A condensed, all-caps-friendly display face with heavy ink presence and deliberately roughened contours. Strokes show uneven edges and small notches, suggesting worn printing or a dry-brush/inked texture. Counters are generally compact and slightly irregular, with simplified, sturdy shapes and a lively, inconsistent rhythm across letters. Terminals tend to be blunt, and verticals dominate the structure, giving the alphabet a tall, punchy silhouette.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, and promotional materials where texture is part of the message. It also fits album artwork, labels, and packaging that want an imperfect printed feel. Use at display sizes to let the distressed detail read cleanly.
The overall tone is gritty and handmade, with a slightly vintage, poster-like attitude. The distressed texture adds a tactile, DIY energy that can feel rebellious, crafty, or rustic depending on context.
Designed to deliver a strong condensed voice with a deliberately worn, ink-pressed texture, evoking analog printing and handcrafted signage while remaining straightforward in structure for impactful display typography.
In running text the texture becomes a consistent “grain” that reads as intentional aging, while the narrow set helps long words stay compact. The rough edges are prominent at larger sizes and can visually merge in very small sizes, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect clarity.
