A condensed, heavy sans with softly rounded, superellipse-like outer shapes and largely monoline strokes. The glyphs show intentionally irregular, roughened edges and slight waviness in vertical stems, giving a worn, inked texture rather than crisp geometry. Counters are compact and often squared-off by rounded corners, with tight apertures and a sturdy, blocky rhythm across both cases and figures. Overall spacing and widths vary modestly by letter, reinforcing an organic, printed feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product labels, and packaging where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also works well for branding accents and merchandise graphics that want a rugged, stamped aesthetic; for long-form reading, larger sizes and generous line spacing help maintain clarity.
The texture and narrow, forceful forms create a gritty, utilitarian tone—part vintage stamp, part distressed poster type. It feels emphatic and punchy, with a handcrafted imperfection that reads as raw, urban, and slightly rebellious.
The design appears intended to combine condensed, sign-ready proportions with a deliberately weathered surface, evoking ink transfer, screen print, or stamped lettering while keeping the underlying skeleton simple and sans-driven.
The distressed edge treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, suggesting the texture is a core stylistic device rather than incidental noise. Round characters like O and 0 retain a rounded-rectangle silhouette, while diagonals and joints stay thick and blunt, keeping the overall color dense in text lines.
