A condensed, right-slanted display face with brush-like strokes and visibly rough, worn edges. Forms are built from thick, tapered marks with sharp terminals and occasional hooked finishes, giving letters a hand-inked rhythm rather than a rigid geometric construction. Texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with irregular interior counters and slightly uneven stroke boundaries that mimic dry ink or distressed printing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding moments where texture should be part of the message. It performs well in short phrases, badges, and impactful overlays, especially when a raw, analog feel is desired.
The overall tone is bold and gritty, with a vintage, poster-ready attitude. Its rough texture and forward slant create a sense of urgency and motion, evoking handmade signage and imperfect print processes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while preserving a handmade, distressed surface. Its consistent roughening and brush-driven construction suggest a focus on expressive display typography that feels printed, worn, and energetic rather than pristine.
Capitals read as compact and forceful, while the lowercase keeps a tight, compressed footprint that reinforces the dense texture. Numerals share the same roughened finish and strong diagonals, helping maintain a unified voice in headlines and short bursts of copy.
