A condensed, heavy display face with rounded corners and compact proportions. Strokes are thick and dark, with simplified, blocky construction and slightly irregular contours. A consistent distressed texture appears as small internal chips and speckled voids, suggesting worn ink or eroded paint rather than hand-drawn wobble. Counters are relatively tight, terminals are blunt, and overall spacing reads even despite subtle width variation across glyphs.
Best suited for display sizes in posters, branding headlines, packaging, labels, and bold signage where the speckled wear can be appreciated. It works especially well for short phrases, event titles, and stamped-looking graphics that need strong presence and a tactile, aged finish.
The texture and stout shapes give a tough, workmanlike tone with a retro, poster-ready immediacy. It feels at home in settings that want grit and personality without sacrificing legibility, balancing roughness with a friendly, rounded silhouette.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold condensed voice with a deliberately worn, printed texture, evoking stamped lettering, aged posters, or distressed industrial markings while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly legible.
The distressing is integrated into nearly every glyph and number, producing a uniform “printed-and-worn” effect that remains readable at larger sizes. The numerals share the same sturdy, compact build, supporting headline systems that mix type and numbers frequently.
