A heavy, block-based sans with squarish bowls, rounded outer corners, and prominent ink traps/counters that keep the interiors open at large sizes. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform in mass, with occasional sharp cut-ins and notched terminals that create a stencil-like feel. A consistent distressed texture appears throughout the alphabet and figures, producing irregular white specks and worn edges while maintaining sturdy silhouettes. Proportions are compact and tall, with a high x-height and short ascenders/descenders that concentrate weight into a strong text band.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: posters, punchy headlines, logos/wordmarks, packaging, labels, and bold signage. The built-in texture can add character in editorial or music/event graphics, while the dense shapes benefit from generous sizing and spacing to keep the distressed details readable.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, with a worn, printed-on-rough-stock character. It reads as bold, insistent, and slightly retro—evoking stamped labels, vintage packaging, and gritty signage rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with an intentionally weathered, screen-printed/stamped look. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and quick recognition, pairing industrial geometry with controlled roughness for a bold, characterful display voice.
The distressing is baked into the letterforms rather than applied as an external effect, so texture remains consistent across different glyph shapes. Round letters (like O/C/G) stay fairly squared and utilitarian, and the numerals match the same blunt, cut-out construction for cohesive headline use.
