A heavy, compact sans with straightforward, block-built forms and subtly condensed proportions. Strokes are largely monolinear with squared terminals and simple geometry, while the counters stay open and sturdy for strong silhouette clarity. The defining feature is a worn, speckled texture that appears inside strokes and along edges, creating an ink-printed, scuffed effect without breaking the letterforms. Overall spacing and rhythm are tight and efficient, keeping words dense and impactful in display sizes.
Best suited to posters, packaging, labels, and large headlines where the texture can be appreciated and the weight can carry at a distance. It also works well for merchandise graphics, event promotions, and branding moments that call for a rugged, printed patina rather than a clean, contemporary finish.
The font conveys a tough, workmanlike tone—like stenciled or stamped lettering that’s been handled, printed, and reprinted. Its distressed surface adds grit and authenticity, giving headlines a vintage-industrial attitude and a no-nonsense presence.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, utilitarian sans with an intentionally aged print texture, evoking stamped ink, worn signage, or distressed letterpress output while staying readable and compact for impactful display typography.
The distressed pattern reads as consistent across the set, with small chips and flecks that add texture while preserving legibility. Numerals and capitals feel especially strong and poster-ready, with a pragmatic, sign-paint-adjacent simplicity.
