A heavy, condensed sans with compact proportions and an uneven, distressed edge treatment. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with subtly rounded corners that are interrupted by ragged contours and small voids, creating a worn ink or stamped texture. Counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is dense, producing a strong, poster-like color on the page. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and block-based, while lowercase maintains a simple, workmanlike structure with small apertures and straightforward terminals.
Best suited for display typography where texture and impact are desired: posters, bold headlines, apparel graphics, packaging, and sign-inspired branding. It can also work for short subheads or callouts in editorial layouts when paired with a cleaner text face for body copy.
The texture and density give the face a gritty, utilitarian tone—like printed ephemera, packaging marks, or weathered signage. It reads as assertive and tactile rather than polished, with a handmade, imperfect edge that suggests age, friction, and physical printing processes.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed headline voice with a distressed, ink-worn surface—capturing the feel of stamping, screen printing, or aged printing on rough stock while keeping the underlying letterforms straightforward and highly legible at larger sizes.
The distressing is consistent across letters and numerals, so the roughness reads as a deliberate surface layer rather than random noise. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and heavy weight may close up, while at display sizes the worn contours become a key part of the personality.
