A heavy, blocky sans with compact proportions and blunt terminals, set on a sturdy geometric skeleton. Curves are broad and round (notably in O/C/G), while joins and corners stay squared-off, giving the face a strong, poster-like presence. Throughout the glyphs, the fill shows a consistent speckled wear pattern that reads like rough ink, scuffed paint, or distressed printing rather than irregular outlines. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with single-storey a and g and minimal stroke modulation, keeping the texture as the primary source of visual contrast.
Best suited to display applications where the texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, badges, product packaging, labels, and signage. It also works for short, punchy brand marks or campaign lockups that benefit from a rugged, printed-on look.
The overall tone is tough and workwear-inspired, with a lived-in, imperfect finish that feels handmade and utilitarian. It suggests vintage signage, stamped packaging, and DIY poster graphics—confident and slightly playful, but never delicate.
The design appears intended to combine a straightforward, bold sans structure with a deliberately worn print texture, creating an energetic display face that evokes real-world materials and production artifacts.
The distressed texture is dense enough to become a key stylistic feature at display sizes, while the underlying shapes remain clear and legible. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, matching the uppercase for a consistent, emphatic rhythm.
