A condensed, block-built sans with sharply faceted corners and flattened “curve” zones that read as clipped planes rather than arcs. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with small counters and tight apertures that keep the silhouette dense at text sizes. Terminals are abrupt and squared-off, and many glyphs show purposeful distressing—small nicks and worn patches—introducing a rugged texture while maintaining clear geometric structure. Spacing feels compact and the rhythm is driven by tall, narrow stems and hard-edged diagonals.
Best suited to posters, headlines, apparel graphics, packaging, and signage where a condensed, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work well in game UI, title cards, or interface labels when a mechanical, worn aesthetic is part of the visual system, but the distressed details suggest avoiding very small sizes for extended reading.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking stamped metal, machinery labels, or worn signage. The distressed finish adds a weathered, hands-on character that feels gritty and slightly retro, while the faceted construction keeps it assertive and technical.
The design appears intended to merge a compact, high-impact display skeleton with a faceted, planar construction and an intentionally worn surface. This combination prioritizes strong silhouettes and an industrial mood over smooth curves or delicate detailing.
Uppercase forms feel especially tall and commanding, while the lowercase remains compact with simplified shapes that favor straight segments and clipped corners. Numerals follow the same angular, cut-off logic, producing a cohesive set for codes and headlines where a rugged texture is desirable.
