A condensed, upright sans with monoline strokes and visibly rough, broken edges that mimic worn ink or distressed printing. Letterforms are simple and sturdy, with slightly uneven stroke boundaries and occasional thickening that creates a mottled texture across stems and curves. Counters are open and legible, while terminals tend to look blunted and irregular rather than crisply cut. Overall spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, giving the face a handmade rhythm without collapsing readability.
This font works best for display applications where texture is an asset: posters, covers, product packaging, labels, and themed branding. It can also serve for short subheads or pull quotes when you want an intentionally imperfect, analog tone; for longer text, larger sizes help preserve the distressed details.
The texture and imperfect outlines give the font a gritty, analog feel—like stamped labels, aged signage, or a well-used typewriter ribbon. It reads as informal and characterful, balancing utilitarian clarity with a rough, expressive surface.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, no-nonsense sans structure while adding a controlled layer of wear and ink noise. Its goal is to evoke printed ephemera and handmade production, providing instant atmosphere without sacrificing basic legibility.
Uppercase shapes stay fairly geometric, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncrasy—especially in rounded letters and descenders—reinforcing the distressed, printed-by-hand impression. The numerals match the same roughened treatment and remain straightforward in construction for consistent use in headings and short callouts.
