A condensed, heavy display face built from blocky letterforms with rounded corners and softened terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear, with compact counters and sturdy verticals that create a strong, poster-like rhythm. Throughout the alphabet, the outlines and interiors show deliberate abrasion—small chips, speckling, and uneven ink traps—giving the shapes a worn, printed texture while keeping the silhouettes clear at headline sizes.
Works best for short, high-impact setting such as posters, headlines, badges, and product packaging where the worn texture can be appreciated. It can also suit brand marks and signage that want an industrial or retro printed character; for longer passages, larger sizes help maintain clarity of the distressed details.
The overall tone is tough and tactile, evoking stamped packaging, workshop signage, and well-used posters. Its softened geometry keeps it friendly enough for casual, retro applications, while the gritty texture adds attitude and grit.
The design appears intended to combine a straightforward, condensed sans structure with a convincing worn-print effect, creating a bold display voice that feels utilitarian and vintage at the same time.
Spacing appears relatively tight and economical, reinforcing the compact, condensed feel. The distressed pattern is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, so the texture reads as an intentional treatment rather than random noise.
