A condensed, heavy display face with tall proportions and compact counters. Letterforms are built from sturdy, mostly straight strokes with occasional soft curves, creating a blunt, poster-like silhouette. Edges and interiors show consistent rough wear—small chips, scuffs, and uneven ink traps that make the black shapes feel printed and degraded rather than clean. Spacing and widths vary slightly across glyphs, reinforcing an irregular, hand-pressed rhythm while maintaining strong overall alignment.
Well-suited for bold headlines, posters, and title treatments where a distressed, high-contrast silhouette can do the work at a glance. It also fits packaging and label-style graphics that benefit from an aged, stamped look, as well as album art and event promos needing a tough, industrial edge.
The font projects a gritty, utilitarian tone with a vintage-print attitude. Its distressed texture reads as tough and workmanlike, suggesting age, friction, and imperfect production. The narrow stance and dense color give it an urgent, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in tight horizontal space while adding character through controlled wear. Its consistent chipping and rough ink texture suggest a deliberate effort to mimic imperfect printing or a timeworn stencil-like impression for expressive, themed display typography.
Distress is most noticeable at terminals, corners, and along vertical stems, where small breaks and abrasions create a believable worn texture. The numerals and capitals carry especially strong visual weight, making the type feel best suited to short, high-impact settings rather than extended body text.
