A condensed, all-purpose sans with a hand-inked, distressed finish. Strokes are heavy with slightly irregular widths and soft, worn edges, creating a printed-from-rough-plate feel rather than crisp outlines. Counters are generally open and simple, while verticals dominate the structure; terminals tend to be blunt or softly rounded, and the baseline/curve rhythm shows subtle, human inconsistencies. Overall spacing feels compact, supporting tight setting while preserving recognizable letter shapes.
Works best for display uses where texture is an asset: posters, bold headlines, product packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics. It also suits themed editorial pull quotes or short blocks of copy when a handcrafted, worn-print tone is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distress detail can read clearly.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade confidence—casual and approachable, but with a rugged, used texture. Its worn ink character suggests vintage utility printing, craft labels, or DIY signage, giving text an immediate, tactile presence.
Designed to deliver a compact, attention-getting voice with intentional wear and ink irregularity. The aim appears to be combining straightforward, readable letterforms with a distressed surface treatment that adds personality and a vintage/handmade impression without turning into illegible novelty.
The distressing appears consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with internal speckling and edge erosion that becomes more visible at larger sizes. The condensed proportions amplify the vertical energy of the design, making it feel punchy in short lines while remaining legible for display-length copy.
