A condensed, all-purpose sans with chunky strokes and subtly irregular contours that suggest rough printing or worn stamping. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional soft rounding, and counters tend to stay open despite the heavy weight. The texture shows up as slight edge wobble and small nicks/ink traps, giving the letters a tactile, inked-on look rather than clean geometric precision. Overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with tight internal spacing and a sturdy, poster-ready color on the page.
Well-suited for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, and promotional graphics where a compact width is useful. It also fits packaging, labels, and apparel graphics that benefit from a stamped or screenprinted vibe. For best results, use at medium-to-large sizes where the distressed detailing can be appreciated without compromising clarity.
The font conveys a gritty, hand-made energy—like packaging stamped in a workshop or type pulled from an aged screenprint. Its narrow stance keeps it efficient and punchy, while the distressed details add character and a casual, slightly rebellious tone. The overall feel is friendly but tough, balancing legibility with a deliberately imperfect finish.
The design appears intended to offer a condensed display voice with a rugged, ink-worn texture—delivering strong readability while injecting a tactile, vintage-leaning character. Its consistent distress and sturdy construction suggest it was built to look printed and lived-in rather than digitally perfect.
The distressed effect is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, reading as surface wear rather than chaotic deformation. The texture is strong enough to register at display sizes and gives solid black areas a lively, uneven edge, which can help prevent large headlines from feeling sterile.
