A condensed, right-leaning sans with heavy strokes and visibly roughened edges. The letterforms are built from simple, poster-like geometry with compact counters and a slightly uneven rhythm that suggests ink drag or worn printing. Distress appears as chipped contours and small interior voids, giving solids a speckled, abraded texture while preserving clear silhouettes. The numerals and caps maintain a consistent, upright structure under the slant, with occasional variations in stroke width and edge breakup contributing to an intentionally imperfect, handcrafted print feel.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, album or event promotion, apparel graphics, and packaging that wants a worn or printed-on look. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but will be most effective when given enough size for the distressed details to read as intentional texture rather than noise.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, with a vintage utility character that reads as tough, practical, and a bit rebellious. Its distressed finish adds a tactile, analog vibe—closer to stamped signage or screen-printed merch than clean digital type.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact voice with an intentionally weathered surface—combining a sign-painter/sports-display silhouette with the feel of rough print production. Its goal is to add attitude and tactility to modern layouts without sacrificing recognizability.
The slanted stance and condensed set create forward motion and high visual density, making short phrases feel punchy. The distress is strong enough to be a defining feature, so very small sizes or low-contrast backgrounds may reduce clarity compared to cleaner display faces.
