A condensed, heavy sans built from squared, rounded-rectangle forms with mostly straight vertical stems and compact counters. Corners read as softly squared rather than sharp, while edges show deliberate roughness and small irregular notches that create a printed, worn texture. Curves are minimized and translated into angular, stepped geometry, giving letters a tall, modular rhythm. Spacing is tight and the weight is visually consistent, with small apertures and sturdy internal shapes that stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited to bold display work such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and packaging where its condensed width and rugged texture can carry personality. It also fits music or event graphics, labels, and editorial callouts that want an industrial or retro-stamped effect. Use at larger sizes to preserve the distressed details and keep counters open enough for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a weathered, hands-on feel reminiscent of stamped lettering and inked signage. Its compressed proportions and distressed finish push a gritty, industrial mood that can read both retro and underground. The texture adds immediacy and attitude, making text feel physical and imperfect rather than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a worn, printed surface—combining rounded-rect geometry with intentional imperfections to simulate stamped or aged ink. It prioritizes punchy presence and a strong vertical rhythm over smooth neutrality, aiming to add texture and attitude to short-form text.
The distressed detailing is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, so blocks of text maintain an even “inked” color while still showing individual character. Numerals follow the same squared, compact construction, supporting cohesive headline and poster use. At smaller sizes, the rough edges and tight apertures may reduce clarity, so it benefits from generous sizing or contrast against clean backgrounds.
