A condensed, heavy sans with simplified, blocky forms and softly rounded corners. Strokes are thick and fairly consistent, with a slightly uneven, hand-printed rhythm and subtle irregularities in curves and joins. The face carries a consistent speckled/worn texture inside and along edges, as if from rough inking or distressed printing. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, keeping the overall color dense and impactful at display sizes.
Well suited to posters, headlines, packaging, and identity work where a bold, tactile texture can add character. It also works for labels, apparel graphics, and event or music promo materials that benefit from an industrial or vintage print vibe. For best results, use at larger sizes where the distressed details can be appreciated.
The texture and compact proportions give the font a rugged, workmanlike voice—more poster-and-stamp than polished corporate. It reads as vintage and utilitarian, with an intentionally imperfect finish that suggests grit, wear, and analog production.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed display presence while adding a deliberate worn-print texture for atmosphere. Its simplified, sturdy letterforms prioritize impact and legibility, with distressing used to introduce analog personality and grit.
The distressing is coherent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a uniform printed texture rather than random damage. Round letters (like O/0) stay sturdy and closed, while straight-sided glyphs keep a squared, sign-painter simplicity that reinforces a strong, compact silhouette.
