A condensed display face with heavy strokes and a rough, worn texture that breaks up both edges and counters. Letterforms are built on simple, blocky skeletons with mostly vertical stress and squared-off terminals, but the outlines are intentionally irregular, as if printed with dry ink or stamped from a distressed block. Curves are slightly lumpy and bowls show visible interior abrasion, creating a noisy silhouette and uneven color across lines. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, adding a hand-cut rhythm while keeping a generally compact width and strong presence.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, gig flyers, album/playlist artwork, and apparel or sticker graphics where the distressed texture is a feature. It also works for bold section headers or pull quotes when you want a rough, analog imprint; avoid long passages at small sizes where the abrasion can overwhelm counters.
The overall tone feels gritty and rebellious, with an analog, DIY attitude reminiscent of rough screen prints, zines, or worn signage. Its distressed texture adds tension and urgency, giving text a lived-in, street-level character rather than a polished commercial finish.
The design appears intended to mimic worn printmaking or distressed stamping while preserving the simplicity and impact of condensed block forms. Its irregular erosion and uneven ink coverage are used to inject texture and attitude into straightforward letter shapes for high-impact display typography.
The texture is prominent even at larger sizes, with several glyphs showing broken strokes and speckled interiors that can reduce clarity in dense settings. Capitals read like sturdy poster letters, while the lowercase retains the same rugged treatment, producing a consistent, intentionally imperfect voice across mixed-case text.
