A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and a tall, poster-oriented stance. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with rounded-rectangle geometry showing through in bowls and counters, while the outer silhouette is intentionally irregular. Edges look worn and slightly chipped, creating a dry-ink or distressed print texture that breaks up straight stems and terminals. Spacing is tight and the overall rhythm is dense, producing strong vertical emphasis and high impact at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, labels, brand marks, and bold signage. It can also work for merchandise graphics and section headers where a rugged, industrial voice is desired, but is less ideal for long-form text or small UI sizes due to the intentionally rough edges.
The distressed surface and compressed build give the type a tough, utilitarian tone—suggesting signage, packaging, and workwear graphics rather than polished editorial typography. It reads assertive and attention-grabbing, with a vintage/print-shop roughness that feels handmade or stamped.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compressed footprint while adding a worn, printed texture for character. Its rounded-rectangle construction keeps forms stable and legible, while the distressing introduces a vintage, tactile feel that differentiates it from clean condensed sans styles.
Uppercase forms are especially compact and columnar, while lowercase retains simple, sturdy structures with minimal ornament. Numerals match the same heavy, worn construction, keeping a consistent, poster-friendly color across mixed text. The deliberate texture reduces crispness in small sizes, but adds character and authenticity when set large.
