A heavy, blocky sans with compact proportions and softened corners that keep the silhouettes chunky rather than sharp. Strokes are largely monolinear, with broad verticals and squared terminals, while bowls and apertures are tightened for a dense, punchy texture. A consistent distressed treatment introduces irregular interior gouges and worn edges across glyphs, creating a rough print/paint feel without breaking the overall letterforms. Spacing is on the tight side and the forms read best at display sizes where the distressing becomes a deliberate texture rather than noise.
Well-suited for posters, cover art, event titles, and bold branding where a rugged texture is desirable. It also fits packaging and labels for products that benefit from an industrial or handcrafted tone, and works effectively on apparel graphics and large-format signage where high-impact shapes carry at a distance.
The font projects an industrial, worn-in attitude—like painted signage, stamped crates, or screen-printed posters that have seen use. Its texture adds grit and urgency, giving headlines a raw, streetwise energy while still staying legible and structured.
Likely designed to combine a sturdy, no-nonsense grotesque foundation with a controlled distressed overlay, delivering instant impact with a built-in weathered character. The goal appears to be fast, attention-grabbing display typography that evokes printed, stamped, or painted surfaces.
The uppercase set feels particularly square-shouldered and compact, while lowercase maintains the same sturdy, condensed rhythm. Numerals match the weight and texture, supporting strong, uniform titling. The distressed pattern appears intentionally repeatable and consistent, suggesting a designed “weathered” overlay rather than random degradation.
