A condensed, all-caps-forward display face with rough, ink-worn edges and subtly uneven stroke terminals that mimic imperfect printing. Forms are mostly monoline in feeling with small contrast shifts caused by texture and pressure, and the bowls and counters stay relatively open for a distressed style. Corners are often slightly rounded or blunted, and many strokes show small notches and wobble that create a consistent, intentionally battered rhythm across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, album or event graphics, packaging fronts, and product labels where texture is part of the message. It can also work for logo wordmarks that want a worn, tactile finish, especially at medium to large sizes where the edge detail can be appreciated.
The texture and compressed proportions give the type a gritty, utilitarian voice—like stamped labels, screen-printed merch, or worn signage. It reads as raw and energetic rather than polished, with a handmade toughness that suggests age, friction, and use.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed display voice with a deliberately distressed print texture, balancing strong silhouettes with roughened edges for a rugged, analog feel.
The distressing is pervasive but controlled, so the letter silhouettes remain clear even as edges break up. Numerals follow the same rugged logic, and the overall spacing feels tight, reinforcing the compact, poster-ready personality.
