A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and compact counters, built from sturdy vertical stems and simple, squared-off construction. Curves are slightly pinched and irregular, and many joins and terminals show deliberate wear, with chipping and uneven edges that mimic ink loss or rough printing. The rhythm is assertive and poster-like, with consistent overall weight but visibly distressed interiors and outlines that keep the texture active across words.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as poster headlines, event graphics, album covers, packaging callouts, and brand marks that benefit from a rugged texture. It also works well for themed signage and editorial display where a worn, printed look can carry atmosphere without relying on illustration.
The texture and narrow stance give it a gritty, street-level energy that reads as vintage and industrial rather than polished. It carries a slightly ominous, noir-leaning tone—confident and utilitarian—suited to designs that want impact with a worn-in edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum display impact in a condensed footprint while adding a convincingly worn print texture. Its narrow, tall forms prioritize space-efficient emphasis, and the distressing supplies character for themed or gritty visual identities.
Lowercase forms stay compact and practical, with single-storey shapes where applicable and minimal ornamentation; the distressing is consistent enough to feel intentional rather than random. Numerals and capitals maintain strong vertical emphasis, helping lines set tightly while still projecting a loud, headline presence.
