A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and blunt terminals. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear in feel, with subtle contrast coming from the irregular edges rather than internal modulation. The outlines show deliberate distressing—ragged contours, nicks, and uneven sides—creating a printed or cut-out texture while maintaining clear, simple letterforms. Counters are relatively tight, and curves (O, C, G) are slightly flattened by the rough perimeter, giving the set a solid, blocky silhouette.
Best suited for display uses where texture is an asset: posters, bold headers, merchandise graphics, and packaging that wants a rugged, analog feel. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the distressed edges and tight counters make it less ideal for long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking ink-heavy stamps, worn signage, and DIY posters. The distressed surface adds grit and urgency, making the face feel loud, physical, and imperfect in an intentional way.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while adding a tactile, worn-print character. It prioritizes bold presence and a gritty surface over pristine geometry, aiming for an expressive, street-level voice.
Spacing and rhythm read as compact and punchy, with strong vertical emphasis across the alphabet. Numerals and capitals carry the same distressed treatment, helping headlines and short bursts of text look cohesive and intentionally weathered.
