A compact sans with tall, narrow proportions and crisp, high-contrast strokes, it mixes clean geometry with intentional wear. Curves are round and open, counters are generous for the width, and terminals are mostly blunt, giving it a direct, utilitarian silhouette. The distressed texture shows up as small speckles, nicks, and uneven interior edges that read like imperfect inking rather than heavy deformation, keeping letterforms recognizable at display sizes.
It suits posters, packaging, labels, headlines, and branding that benefits from a rugged or retro-printed feel—especially in music, craft goods, outdoor, workwear, or industrial-themed visuals. The texture will read best at larger sizes, while smaller sizes may reduce the distress to a subtle grain. It can also add character to short UI or editorial callouts where a clean condensed face would feel too sterile.
This typeface conveys a printed, timeworn energy—like ink laid down on rough stock or pulled from a well-used stamp. The mood is practical and straightforward, but with a subtly gritty, handmade character that adds attitude without turning chaotic.
The design appears intended to combine a condensed, no-nonsense structure with a controlled distressed layer that suggests age, friction, or imperfect production. It aims for strong presence and instant personality while preserving clear letter recognition and a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The sample text shows consistent distress across strokes and bowls, with occasional speckling that mimics ink dropout. Numerals and capitals maintain strong silhouettes, and the overall spacing feels tight and efficient, reinforcing the condensed, punchy tone.
