A condensed, heavy display face with rough, eroded contours and uneven ink density throughout. Strokes are mostly monolinear in construction but appear jagged and pitted, with small interior voids and bite-like notches that mimic worn printing or distressed stamping. Counters are relatively tight and sometimes partially occluded by the texture, while verticals dominate the rhythm, giving the alphabet a tall, compact silhouette. Overall spacing is fairly tight and the texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a unified, gritty color on the page.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture is a feature: posters, gig flyers, album/playlist artwork, title cards, and packaging fronts. It also works well for badges, stamps, and gritty branding elements where a worn print effect is desirable, rather than for extended text.
The font conveys a rugged, raw tone—suggesting age, friction, and loud, analog energy. Its distressed surface reads as confrontational and urban, with a DIY or poster-like attitude that feels at home in music, nightlife, and genre branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, forceful headline voice with an intentionally degraded print texture. By combining condensed proportions with aggressive distressing, it aims to add instant grit and analog character to display typography.
The distressing is strong enough that small sizes and long passages can lose clarity, especially in tighter counters and joints. Numerals share the same worn texture and condensed proportions, making them visually cohesive in headlines and label-style typography.
