A heavy, block-built sans with squarish proportions and rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are predominantly straight with broad radiused corners and occasional chamfered cuts, giving counters and bowls a compact, engineered feel. Many glyphs show deliberate erosion/roughening along edges and in interior joins, producing a worn, stamped texture while maintaining clear, simplified silhouettes. Spacing reads solid and steady, and the overall construction favors wide forms with large, open apertures for impact at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and event or music promotions where texture and mass help command attention. It can also work for game UI titles or product/tech branding that benefits from a rugged, industrial tone.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian voice—part industrial signage, part arcade/tech interface. Its distressed detailing adds grit and attitude, suggesting durability and a slightly rebellious, street-worn edge rather than polish or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver bold readability with a manufactured, worn character—combining geometric, rounded-sans construction with purposeful distress to evoke stamped metal, painted signage, or arcade-era display lettering.
The distressed effects are integrated into the letterforms rather than applied as an overlay, so texture remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Rounded corners keep the strong geometry from feeling too sharp, balancing aggression with approachability.
