A compact, condensed display face with tall proportions, blocky silhouettes, and strongly squared counters. Strokes are heavy and largely monoline in feel, with occasional tapered joins and slightly flared terminals that add a hand-inked, poster-like character. The surface is intentionally roughened: edges are chipped and interiors show speckling and voids, like worn letterpress or overprinted ink. Spacing is fairly tight and the rhythm is punchy, with distinctive, simplified forms in both caps and lowercase and a utilitarian set of numerals.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, and title treatments where strong vertical presence and a distressed print effect add attitude. It also fits packaging, labels, and brand accents that aim for a worn, utilitarian look, especially in high-contrast, single-color applications.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking printed ephemera, industrial labeling, and worn signage. The texture adds a sense of age and grit while the narrow build keeps the voice direct and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while simulating the imperfections of aged printing or scuffed signage. The simplified, sturdy shapes prioritize bold readability, with texture used to inject character and authenticity.
At larger sizes the distressed detail reads clearly and feels tactile; at smaller sizes the speckling and notches can visually thicken and reduce clarity. The condensed build makes it effective for stacked headlines and short bursts of text where a rugged imprint is desired.
