A heavy, rounded sans with blunt terminals and deliberately roughened edges that mimic ink spread and worn printing. Many glyphs show clear stencil-style breaks—most notably in rounded counters—creating a segmented look while keeping overall forms compact and readable. Curves are broad and simplified, corners are softened rather than sharp, and the texture introduces small irregularities that vary stroke boundaries without changing the basic construction. Spacing appears sturdy and slightly tight, with strong, dark word shapes in text settings.
Best suited for bold headlines and short passages where impact and texture are desirable, such as posters, product labels, packaging, and display signage. It can work for limited body text at larger sizes, but the distressed edges and stencil gaps are most effective when given room to breathe.
The font conveys a practical, workmanlike tone with an industrial, stamped quality. Its distressed surface and stencil interruptions add a gritty, hands-on feel that reads as rugged and no-nonsense rather than polished or delicate.
Designed to deliver a strong, attention-grabbing sans with a stencil-and-wear aesthetic, evoking sprayed, stamped, or screen-printed lettering. The goal appears to be combining simple rounded construction with deliberate breaks and roughness for a tough, industrial voice.
The stencil breaks are applied consistently enough to feel intentional, especially in letters with round bowls, while the distressed perimeter adds a printed or painted-on texture. Numerals and capitals match the same blunt, blocky rhythm, supporting bold display use where texture is part of the voice.
