A condensed, slanted sans with tall proportions and compact sidebearings, giving lines a tight, fast rhythm. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with rounded-rectangle counters and softened corners that keep the forms sturdy rather than sharp. The outlines carry a deliberate distressed texture—ragged edges, small voids, and uneven inking—creating a worn, printed feel while maintaining clear, blocky letter shapes. Numerals and capitals match the same narrow, upright-to-slanted architecture, with consistent weight and a slightly irregular baseline impression from the texture.
Works well for punchy headlines, poster typography, and bold callouts where compact width helps fit more characters without losing impact. The distressed inking suits packaging, labels, and apparel graphics that want a rugged, screen-printed or stamped aesthetic. It can also support signage-style applications where a condensed, high-contrast presence is needed at larger sizes.
The font projects a hard-working, high-energy tone: assertive, utilitarian, and a bit rough around the edges. Its distressed finish adds a vintage, tactile quality reminiscent of stamped labels, screen-printed merch, or weathered signage, while the condensed slant injects motion and urgency.
Likely designed to combine a compact, condensed italic structure with a deliberately distressed surface, balancing strong legibility with a tactile, worn print character. The rounded-rectangle construction keeps forms stable and contemporary while the rough texture adds grit and personality for display use.
The texture is prominent enough to become part of the color of the text, especially in larger sizes where the broken edges read as intentional distress rather than noise. In long paragraphs the narrow width and strong slant create a dense, forward-leaning texture, making it best suited to short bursts of copy rather than extended reading.
