A heavy, condensed sans with compact proportions, tall caps, and mostly straight-sided geometry. Strokes are thick and assertive, with simplified forms and tight counters that keep the texture dense in words. The distressed effect is built in as irregular interior voids, speckling, and occasional edge nicks that mimic worn ink or rough printing, varying slightly from glyph to glyph. Curves (C, O, S) stay broadly rounded but are clipped by the weight and texture, while joins and terminals remain blunt and utilitarian.
Best suited for display typography where impact and texture are desirable: posters, bold headlines, album/playlist artwork, craft or rugged packaging, and apparel graphics. It works well when you want a stamped or weathered print feel and can tolerate a bit of intentional roughness.
The overall tone feels tough and streetwise, like stamped signage or a battered poster pulled from a wall. The gritty texture adds urgency and attitude, while the condensed stance keeps it punchy and headline-driven. It can also read slightly mischievous because the distress pattern introduces a lively, imperfect rhythm.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in a tight horizontal footprint while adding a pre-worn, ink-distressed character. The intent appears to be attention-grabbing display type that evokes rough printing, industrial labeling, or gritty editorial graphics rather than clean body text.
The distressing is prominent enough to become a primary visual feature, especially at display sizes, where the speckled counters and worn patches are clearly visible. In denser lines of text, the texture can visually fill in small openings, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect clarity.
