A condensed, heavy display face with a hand-cut, distressed surface. Strokes are mostly monolinear and blocky, with irregular edges, small nicks, and slightly wavy verticals that create a printed-from-a-worn-block feel. Counters tend to be tight and rectangular, terminals are blunt or subtly hooked, and the overall rhythm is narrow and vertical with small, organic inconsistencies from glyph to glyph.

Best used at display sizes where the rough contours and tight counters remain clear. It works well for posters, title treatments, album or event graphics, labels and packaging, and punchy editorial headings where a distressed, hand-printed texture is desired.

The texture and compressed proportions give the font a tense, gritty voice—part pulp headline, part DIY poster. It reads as bold and assertive, with a slightly ominous, underground energy that feels suited to dramatic or rebellious themes.

The design appears intended to mimic narrow, bold lettering drawn or carved by hand, adding grit and personality while maintaining a strong vertical structure for impactful display typography.

Uppercase forms are tall and rigid, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes that heighten the handmade character. Numerals share the same condensed stance and distressed treatment, keeping the set visually consistent in headlines and short bursts of text.
