A heavy, angular display face built from squared and octagonal forms, with frequent chamfered corners and flattened curves. Strokes are sturdy and mostly monolinear, but the outlines are intentionally roughened with small chips, nicks, and uneven edges that create a worn print texture. Counters are tight and geometric (notably in O/Q/0 and B/8), and terminals tend to end in blunt, cut-off shapes rather than smooth curves. Spacing feels slightly irregular and the glyph widths vary, reinforcing an intentionally rugged, hand-worn rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, album/merch graphics, game or film titling, and packaging where the distressed texture can read clearly. It also works well for logos, badges, and headline systems that want a rugged, stamped or worn-surface impression, rather than long-form text.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a gritty, weathered character that evokes stamped metal, distressed signage, and worn packaging. It reads as assertive and streetwise—more raw than polished—while still staying highly graphic and structured.
The design appears intended to merge a rigid, geometric sign style with deliberate surface wear, creating a structured display face that still feels tactile and imperfect. The consistent chamfering and distressed edges suggest an aim toward gritty branding and thematic titles with an industrial, battle-worn finish.
Uppercase forms lean toward blocky, sign-letter proportions, while lowercase retains the same angular language and rough edges, keeping the texture consistent across cases. Numerals follow the same chamfered construction, giving a cohesive set for headings and callouts.
