A heavy, compact sans with blunt terminals and broadly geometric forms, set with tight counters and a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Strokes are largely monoline in structure but broken up by irregular voids and scuffed interior texture that mimics worn ink or degraded printing. Curves are slightly squared off and corners tend to be firm rather than delicate, giving the alphabet a blocky, workmanlike rhythm. The distressing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, adding speckling and chipped edges without fully obscuring letter shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, badges, and merchandise graphics where the worn texture is part of the message. It can also work for event promos, album-style artwork, and rustic branding that wants a bold voice with printed grit.
The overall tone feels rugged and lived-in, like type printed on old packaging, stamped labels, or well-used signage. It reads loud and confident, with a gritty edge that adds attitude and a touch of playful toughness.
The design appears intended to deliver a solid, no-nonsense display sans while baking in a pre-aged, distressed surface to suggest authenticity, rough handling, and analog printing. The goal is strong readability at large sizes paired with immediate texture and character.
The distressed pattern is most noticeable in rounded bowls and large filled areas, where it creates high-impact texture at display sizes. Letterforms remain recognizable, but the weathering can visually fill in smaller counters and fine apertures at reduced sizes, so it benefits from generous sizing and contrasty settings.
