A heavy, condensed sans with rough, distressed contours and visibly uneven edges, as if the shapes were stamped, screen-printed, or worn down by ink spread. Strokes are thick and assertive, with simplified, blocky construction and compact counters that hold up as solid silhouettes. Curves are slightly squarish and irregular at the perimeter, while verticals dominate the rhythm; spacing feels tight and the overall texture reads as intentionally imperfect rather than smooth or geometric.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, packaging labels, apparel graphics, and bold wordmarks where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also works well for themed applications—craft beverages, music or event promos, and vintage/industrial branding—where an intentionally rough print feel is desirable.
The font conveys a tough, workmanlike tone—gritty, utilitarian, and a bit rebellious. Its distressed finish suggests aged printing, handmade signage, or industrial labeling, giving text an immediate, poster-ready impact.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint while adding character through controlled distressing. The goal appears to be a bold display voice that feels printed, worn, and tactile rather than pristine and corporate.
The distressing is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a uniform “worn” color at larger sizes. At smaller sizes the texture may visually fill in tight interiors, so it reads strongest when given room and contrast.
