A heavy, all-purpose sans with straightforward, utilitarian construction and slightly squared curves. The letterforms keep largely even stroke weight and open counters, but are overlaid with consistent distressing—small chips, scuffs, and worn patches that break the edges and occasionally nick interior spaces. Terminals are mostly blunt and the overall rhythm is steady, giving the face a solid footprint while the texture adds visual noise and a printed, handled feel.
Best suited to display typography where the distressed texture can be seen clearly—posters, headlines, merchandise graphics, packaging, and album or gig artwork. It also works well for branding systems that want a rugged, industrial signature for short phrases, labels, and callouts rather than long-form reading.
The font reads as tough and workmanlike, with a gritty, street-level edge. Its distressed texture evokes worn signage, rough printing, and equipment labeling, bringing an energetic, imperfect tone that feels more handmade than polished.
The design appears intended to combine a dependable, sign-painting/neo-grotesque skeleton with deliberate wear, delivering a ready-made grunge texture without sacrificing immediate legibility. It aims to provide impact and attitude through surface damage while keeping familiar proportions and spacing for practical headline use.
The distress pattern is frequent but not so heavy that the basic silhouettes disappear, so words remain recognizable at display sizes. The texture becomes a stronger stylistic feature as size increases, while smaller settings will compress the worn details into a darker, denser color.
