A condensed, heavy display sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Curves resolve into squarish, rounded-rectangle forms, giving letters a superelliptical feel rather than fully circular bowls. Strokes are largely uniform and verticals dominate, with flat terminals and minimal modulation. Many glyphs show deliberate roughening and small internal breaks or scuffs, producing a worn, printed texture while maintaining strong overall silhouette clarity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging fronts, and signage where a strong vertical presence is needed in limited width. The distressed texture makes it a natural fit for branded graphics and themed layouts where a clean geometric sans would feel too sterile.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian tone—confident and direct, with a slightly distressed edge that suggests posters, stencils, or weathered signage. Its compressed stance and dense color create urgency and volume, leaning toward bold, street-level communication rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to combine a condensed, high-impact grotesque structure with a lightly weathered surface, delivering attention-grabbing display typography that still reads cleanly. The rounded-rectangle geometry provides consistency and a contemporary industrial flavor, while the scuffed detailing adds attitude and tactility.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and compact, and the numerals follow the same narrow, block-forward rhythm. The distress appears as subtle chipping within strokes rather than extreme erosion, keeping legibility high at headline sizes while adding character.
