A heavy, geometric sans with rounded curves, firm verticals, and simple, largely monoline construction. The letterforms are built from broad strokes and compact counters, producing dense color and strong silhouette clarity. A distinctive interior distress effect—random speckles, pits, and worn patches—breaks up the solid fills consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Overall spacing is straightforward and the design reads best in short bursts where the textured detail can be appreciated.
Well-suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, branding accents, packaging, and labels where a weathered texture adds character. It can also work for event graphics, merch, and album/cover art that benefits from a tough, tactile look, especially at medium to large sizes.
The texture and weight create a rugged, workmanlike tone that feels printed, worn, and a bit rebellious. It suggests utilitarian signage and hands-on craft, with an intentionally imperfect finish that adds attitude and grit.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, readable sans framework while layering in a worn, print-like texture for instant atmosphere. It prioritizes bold presence and recognizable shapes, using distressing to add lived-in character without sacrificing the overall silhouette.
The distressing is internal rather than primarily on the outer contour, so the edges stay relatively clean while the interiors carry most of the wear. In smaller sizes the speckling may visually thicken or clog counters, while at larger sizes it becomes a clear stylistic feature.
