A compact, monoline display face built from squared, rectangular strokes with tight counters and mostly right-angled joins. Corners are slightly rounded by the printing/inking effect, and edges show consistent roughness and speckled irregularity that reads like worn stamping or dry-ink output. Forms are simplified and geometric (notably in O/C/G and the squared bowls), with a mechanical rhythm and occasional asymmetry from the distressed texture. Lowercase shares the same rigid construction, keeping ascenders and descenders crisp and straight while maintaining small interior spaces.
Well-suited for headlines and short text in posters, album art, packaging, and label-style graphics where an industrial, worn imprint is desirable. It can also work for interface or title treatments in games and themed projects that benefit from a stamped, analog-tech feel; for longer passages, generous tracking and comfortable size will help preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and slightly abrasive—like labeling, machinery markings, or a well-used typewriter ribbon. Its roughened finish adds a tactile, analog character that suggests age, repetition, and hard use, while the squared geometry keeps it firmly technical and controlled.
The design appears intended to combine a rigid, geometric construction with a deliberately imperfect print texture, evoking stamped or typewritten output while remaining bold enough for display settings. It aims to deliver a clear, mechanical silhouette first, with distress added to communicate grit and materiality.
The distressed texture is visually integral rather than incidental, creating small breaks and bumps along stems and horizontals that become more apparent as sizes increase. Counters and apertures are relatively tight, so the face reads best when given enough size or spacing to keep the interior shapes from filling in visually.
