A sturdy, low-contrast sans with squared geometry, lightly rounded corners, and a slightly condensed, utilitarian skeleton. Strokes are mostly monolinear, with blunt terminals and occasional angled cuts that give a stenciled, cut-metal feel in places. The defining feature is the distressed texture: edges show chipping, scuffing, and intermittent ink-breaks that vary from glyph to glyph, creating a worn print rhythm while maintaining clear letterforms. Numerals and capitals appear especially rigid and sign-like, while lowercase remains simple and functional with open counters and straightforward joins.
Works well for headlines and short text where a distressed, industrial flavor is desired—posters, album or event graphics, product packaging, labels, and branding accents. It can also support signage-style layouts and mockups that aim to look stamped, printed, or weathered, especially at display sizes where the rough edges remain legible.
The overall tone is rugged and workmanlike, suggesting aged signage, stamped labels, and battered packaging. The consistent distress adds a gritty, analog character that feels imperfect by design—more “printed in the field” than polished editorial typography.
Likely designed to deliver a clean, functional core structure overlaid with convincing wear and ink breakup, evoking rough printing, aged metal signage, or stamped lettering. The goal appears to balance straightforward readability with a strong tactile, distressed surface.
Distressing is relatively coarse and high-contrast against the solid stems, so at small sizes the texture may collapse into uneven dark spots, while at medium-to-large sizes it reads as intentional wear. The font’s angular corners and occasional cut-in notches reinforce a mechanical, fabricated impression rather than a handwritten one.
