A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with tall proportions and rounded ends, built from simple vertical stems and compact bowls. The outlines are intentionally rough, with worn-looking edges and speckled interior texture that mimics ink spread or distressed printing. Stroke modulation is noticeable, with heavier vertical presence and slightly lighter joins, while counters stay relatively open to preserve legibility. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an irregular, hand-printed rhythm.
Best suited to display roles where texture is a feature: posters, headlines, apparel graphics, album art, and packaging or label systems that want a printed, lived-in feel. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, especially when you want impact without a polished, corporate finish.
The overall tone feels rugged and tactile, like lettering pulled from an old poster, crate stamp, or screen-printed label. Its narrow stance and weathered texture add urgency and attitude, while the softened terminals keep it friendly enough for upbeat, DIY aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing display voice with a convincingly analog, distressed print character. Its condensed proportions help fit longer words into tight spaces while the rough texture provides instant theme and atmosphere.
Uppercase forms are especially strong and uniform in height, with simplified geometry that reads clearly at display sizes. The distressing is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive “worn ink” surface rather than random damage.
