A monoline sans with blunt terminals and a deliberately distressed, ink-worn surface. Letterforms are built from simple geometric strokes with rounded corners and occasional stencil-like breaks, giving counters and joins a chipped, uneven edge. The rhythm is steady and upright, with straightforward construction in both cases; lowercase forms remain compact and clear, while capitals have broad, sign-like proportions. Numerals echo the same rugged texture and simplified geometry, maintaining a consistent, workmanlike silhouette across the set.
This font suits display roles where texture is part of the message: posters, packaging, and brand marks that want a stamped/printed feel. It can also work for short bursts of copy in headings, labels, and merchandise graphics, especially where a rugged, tactile tone is desired.
The overall tone feels handmade and industrial, like stamped or screen-printed lettering that has picked up wear over time. Its rough edges and intermittent gaps add a casual, slightly gritty character that reads as energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable, printed-by-hand impression within a simple sans framework. By pairing straightforward geometry with controlled distressing and occasional stencil-like interruptions, it aims to feel practical and bold while adding personality and texture.
The distressing is integrated into the stroke structure rather than applied as random noise, creating repeatable nicks and breaks that stay legible at display sizes. Round letters (O, C, G) keep smooth outer curves, while interior edges show the most texture, which enhances the stamped effect without collapsing counters.
