A condensed, heavy display face with tall proportions and firm vertical stress. Strokes show pronounced, uneven texture—speckled interiors and rough, worn edges that mimic aged ink or distressed printing. Terminals are blunt and slightly irregular, with occasional wedge-like flares and subtly notched joins that create a handcrafted rhythm. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, while the overall color remains dense and poster-ready.
Best used at display sizes where the texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branded quotes, packaging, labels, and signage. It also works well for short bursts of text on backgrounds that benefit from a rugged, printed texture rather than smooth outlines.
The distressed texture and compact stance give the font a vintage, workwear feel—earthy, gritty, and intentionally imperfect. It reads as energetic and characterful, suited to designs that want a tactile, printed-from-type vibe rather than a clean digital finish.
Likely designed to emulate the look of vintage letterpress or heavily inked, worn signage—combining condensed, attention-grabbing shapes with deliberate surface distress for instant atmosphere.
The distressing appears consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “worn impression” without obscuring the letterforms. The glyph set shown leans on strong verticals and simplified curves, keeping recognition solid even with the roughened surface.
