A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact proportions and a brisk forward rhythm. Letterforms are built from sturdy strokes with slightly rounded terminals and subtly irregular curves, giving the outlines a printed, worn-in feel. The texture shows as small chips and speckling along edges and within counters, while joins and bowls stay broadly open enough to keep the silhouette legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same assertive stance, with smooth, rounded forms and occasional distress that breaks up the solid black mass.
Works best in short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and logo-like wordmarks where the texture can be appreciated. It also suits apparel graphics, event promos, and packaging that benefit from a rugged, print-worn aesthetic; for longer text, the heavy slant and distressed detailing will be more demanding on readability.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, combining a sporty italic posture with a gritty, analog texture. It reads like bold lettering that’s been screen-printed or stamped repeatedly—confident, fast, and a bit rough around the edges.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful italic voice while evoking imperfect, real-world production—like ink gain, rough paper, or weathered signage. It prioritizes impact and attitude, using texture to add authenticity and visual bite.
The slant and weight create strong directional emphasis, so spacing and word shapes feel dynamic and compact. The distress is consistent across the set, adding character without fully obscuring key features of the glyphs.
