A condensed, upright display face with a compact rhythm and slightly irregular set widths across the alphabet. Strokes are mostly monoline with modest contrast, but the forms are intentionally degraded: edges look chipped and uneven, interiors show blotting and small voids, and terminals feel worn as if printed from a tired stamp or soaked stencil. Curves are simplified and squarish in places, counters stay relatively small, and the overall texture is consistent enough to read while still visibly distressed.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, album/film titles, event graphics, and packaging where texture is an asset. It can also work for logos or badges that want a stamped or weathered feel; for longer passages, the dense texture and condensed proportions are more effective at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font conveys a gritty, analog attitude—suggesting worn signage, underground flyers, and rough printing. Its narrow stance and heavy texture create a tense, urgent tone that can feel industrial, ominous, or street-level depending on context.
The design appears aimed at delivering a condensed display voice with built-in patina—mimicking imperfect ink transfer and surface wear to add character and immediacy without sacrificing basic legibility.
The distressed treatment is more pronounced in some letters (notably where verticals and joins collect ink-like breaks), giving lines of text a lively, uneven color. Numerals follow the same worn logic and remain bold and attention-grabbing at display sizes.
