A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and visibly irregular contours. Strokes stay largely monoline but wobble at the edges, as if printed with dry ink or cut from a worn stencil, creating soft bumps and small notches along verticals and curves. Counters are compact and slightly squarish; joins are blunt and terminals are flat to lightly rounded, producing a dense, upright texture with a tight internal rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where texture is a feature: posters, event graphics, apparel, album art, and bold packaging labels. It can also work for short, high-impact UI or editorial headings when a rugged, analog feel is desired, but the distressed edges will be most effective at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels gritty and workmanlike—more like a stamped label or distressed print than a polished corporate face. Its narrow build and rough perimeter add urgency and toughness, lending a vintage-industrial and slightly punk edge to headlines.
The design appears aimed at combining a condensed, no-nonsense sans structure with an intentionally worn print surface. The goal is to preserve strong silhouette and legibility while adding character through consistent distressing and slightly squarish rounded forms.
The distressing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, so large sizes read as intentionally weathered rather than noisy. Shapes such as the rounded bowls and squared-off curves reinforce a compact, blocky voice, while the uneven edge texture keeps the color lively on the line.
