A compact, heavy, all-caps–friendly sans with blunt terminals and softly rounded corners. Stroke edges are intentionally irregular, with a printed/inked texture that breaks the outline and slightly varies stroke thickness. Counters are simple and sturdy, and curves (C, O, S, 8) feel squarish and weighty rather than geometric. Widths and sidebearings vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving lines an uneven rhythm that reads like worn stamping or rough screenprint.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and album/cover art where texture is a feature. It also works well for branding accents, badges, and merchandise graphics that benefit from a rough-printed feel, especially at larger sizes where the edge character remains clear.
The font conveys a gritty, workwear energy with a casual, slightly mischievous tone. Its roughened silhouette and dense color suggest something tactile and analog—more DIY and street-level than polished corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, immediate legibility while adding character through deliberate wear and uneven inking. Its condensed, blocky forms prioritize bold presence, while the distressed outline suggests a handcrafted or aged production process.
The lowercase set largely follows the same blocky construction as the uppercase, keeping a consistent texture across cases. Numerals are bold and simple, with the same distressed edge treatment, helping maintain impact in short numeric callouts.
