A condensed, block-built sans with squared, superelliptical counters and broadly rounded corners. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, with a slightly irregular rhythm from intentional rough edges and interior bite-like voids that read as distressing. Curves resolve into flattened arcs rather than true circles, and counters tend toward rounded rectangles, producing a compact, vertical silhouette. Spacing is tight and the overall color is dense, with small variations in stroke edge and ink coverage giving a worn, printed feel.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, album covers, product labels, apparel graphics, and branding marks that benefit from a rugged print texture. It can also work for section headers or pull quotes where the distressed character is meant to be part of the message.
The font projects a tough, workmanlike tone—more stenciled poster or stamped label than polished corporate sans. Its distressed texture adds a sense of age, grit, and physicality, suggesting printmaking, packaging, or industrial signage rather than clean digital minimalism.
The design appears intended to merge condensed, rounded-rectangle geometry with a deliberately weathered surface, creating a bold display face that feels printed, stamped, and slightly imperfect. The goal is strong presence and quick recognition, with texture supplying personality and grit.
Uppercase forms feel especially tall and compact, while the lowercase keeps a large, sturdy x-height for readability at display sizes. The texture is consistent across letters and numerals, so the worn effect reads as a deliberate stylistic layer rather than random noise.
