A heavy, compact sans with simplified, blocky construction and broad curves. Strokes are mostly monoline in structure but show pronounced surface disruption: chipped corners, ragged edges, and occasional interior scuffs that resemble worn printing or scraped ink. Counters are generally open and rounded, terminals are blunt, and joins feel sturdy rather than delicate. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the face a deliberately weathered, stamped look.
Well-suited for posters, large headlines, and short phrases where the distressed texture can be read clearly. It also fits packaging, labels, merchandise graphics, and album or event artwork that benefits from a rugged, tactile impression. Best used sparingly in body copy, where the intentional wear may reduce clarity at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a gritty, street-level energy that reads as lived-in rather than polished. It suggests distressed signage and rough production methods, lending a bold, assertive voice suited to attention-grabbing statements. The irregular wear adds a tactile, analog feel that can evoke vintage poster culture and industrial environments.
The design appears intended to deliver bold impact while simulating wear from age, rough handling, or imperfect printing. Its sturdy letterforms provide a clear silhouette first, with distress applied as a secondary layer to create character and grit. The goal is a ready-made, authentic-looking texture without needing additional graphic effects.
In longer text, the distressed detailing becomes a dominant visual feature, adding movement and noise; this makes it most effective when used with generous sizing and spacing. Numerals and capitals carry strong, sign-like presence, while the lowercase maintains the same rugged texture for consistent voice across mixed-case settings.
