A condensed, heavy sans with block-like construction and softly rounded corners. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and counters are compact, giving the letters a dense, compact color on the page. A consistent worn texture appears throughout, with small interior speckles and roughened edges that simulate imperfect printing. Overall proportions are tall and sturdy, and spacing feels tight and efficient for headline settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, display headlines, product packaging, and bold signage where the texture can be appreciated. It can also work for rugged wordmarks and labels, especially when you want an intentionally worn, printed look. For longer passages or small sizes, the dense forms and distressing are likely to reduce clarity compared with a cleaner face.
The distressed surface and compressed massing create a tough, workmanlike tone that reads as vintage and utilitarian. It suggests printed ephemera, stamped signage, and robust, no-nonsense messaging rather than refined elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact width while adding character through a consistent distressed finish. It aims to evoke a tactile, inked or stamped impression without sacrificing the solid, geometric backbone needed for strong display typography.
The distressing is relatively even from glyph to glyph, so the texture reads as a deliberate finish rather than random damage. Numerals match the uppercase in weight and stance, maintaining the same compact rhythm and strong silhouette.
