A heavy, right-leaning sans with compact, slightly condensed proportions and assertive, blocky construction. Strokes show noticeable contrast for a display face, with counters kept relatively tight and terminals cut cleanly rather than rounded. A consistent distressed texture appears as irregular speckling and worn patches inside the letterforms, creating a printed-and-abused look while preserving clear silhouettes. The overall rhythm is punchy and forward, with angular joins and brisk diagonals that keep the forms lively in text.
Best suited to display applications where texture and impact are desirable: posters, sports-themed branding, apparel and merch graphics, packaging accents, and energetic event promotions. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when set with generous size and spacing to keep the distressed details from clogging.
The font conveys a rugged, no-nonsense tone—like worn sports lettering or hard-used signage. Its slant and weight add urgency and motion, while the weathered texture brings a gritty, vintage edge that feels industrial and street-ready rather than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver bold, fast-moving typography with a deliberately worn print effect, combining strong, compact letterforms with a consistent distressed overlay for instant attitude and grit in headlines.
The distressing is integrated into the fill rather than the outlines, so the outer shapes stay readable while the interior wear provides character. Numerals and caps maintain the same strong, compact stance, supporting impactful headline settings.
