A compact, heavy sans with tightly packed proportions and blunt, rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, but the edges are intentionally uneven, with chiseled-looking contours that create a rough, stamped texture. Counters are small and simple, and curves tend to resolve into squarish, softened corners rather than smooth circles. Overall spacing feels firm and economical, producing a dense, impactful line color.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, merchandise, and bold social graphics. It can work effectively in subheads and large labels where the rough edge is a feature, but extended body copy may feel heavy and textural.
The texture and compressed build give it a loud, gritty voice with a mischievous, DIY energy. It reads as intentionally imperfect and tactile—more like inked type or a worn stencil than a polished digital sans—suggesting a casual, bold, attention-grabbing attitude.
Likely drawn to combine condensed, headline-driven economy with a deliberately worn, hand-inked surface. The design prioritizes immediate visual presence and a tactile, imperfect finish while keeping letterforms simple and sturdy for reliable recognition at display sizes.
In the samples, the distressed perimeter and tight counters become more pronounced as size decreases, emphasizing the font’s texture over fine detail. Capitals and numerals maintain the same rugged, blocky rhythm, helping headings feel cohesive and punchy.
