A condensed, all-purpose sans with slightly irregular outlines and a subtly worn, inked texture. Strokes are mostly monolinear with gentle contrast changes from edge roughness, giving counters a softly distressed interior. Terminals skew rounded and blunt, and the overall geometry stays simple and upright, but with small width and alignment variations that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Numerals and capitals read clearly at display sizes, while the distressed detail becomes more noticeable as size increases.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where the distressed texture can contribute to the message: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and event flyers. It can also suit branding for craft, outdoors, or retro-leaning concepts, especially when paired with cleaner body text for longer passages.
The font projects a handmade, tactile tone—like printed signage or stamped lettering that has picked up wear over time. Its narrow stance keeps it efficient and bold, while the rough edges add warmth and an informal, slightly gritty character.
Likely designed to deliver a straightforward, condensed headline voice with an intentionally weathered finish—combining practical legibility with a tactile, analog feel reminiscent of stamped or worn print.
Spacing feels compact and energetic, with minor irregularities that prevent the texture from looking purely digital. The distressing is consistent enough to feel intentional, but uneven enough to suggest real-world ink spread or rough printing.
