A heavy, all-caps friendly sans with compact, geometric bowls and a generally monoline foundation that’s interrupted by intentional abrasions. Strokes show chipped edges, scrape-like voids, and occasional vertical seam splits that read like distressed ink or rough stencil transfer. Curves stay broad and sturdy, terminals are mostly blunt, and counters remain open enough to keep silhouettes clear even with the internal wear. Numerals match the same rugged treatment, with bold, poster-like proportions and consistent text color across a line.
Best suited to display applications where texture is part of the message: posters, album and playlist artwork, apparel graphics, editorial openers, and bold campaign headlines. It also works well for short packaging callouts or labels when you want a rough-printed, industrial voice without sacrificing overall legibility.
The overall tone is gritty and confrontational, evoking worn signage, street graphics, and distressed print artifacts. Its roughened texture adds urgency and attitude, turning straightforward letterforms into something more aggressive and handmade.
Designed to deliver a solid, impactful sans structure while layering in controlled damage and print-wear to suggest toughness and authenticity. The aim appears to be immediate visual punch with a built-in distressed character, suitable for branding and display work that benefits from grit.
The distress pattern is repeatable and stylistically consistent across the alphabet, with many glyphs featuring similar scraped patches and occasional central notches that create a stamped or screened feel. In paragraphs it maintains strong presence, though the texture becomes a prominent visual element that can dominate at small sizes or in dense settings.
