A condensed, all-caps–friendly sans with tall proportions and a strongly textured, worn edge. Strokes are hefty and mostly monolinear, but the outline is intentionally irregular, with ragged contours, small nicks, and ink-trap-like hollows that create a stamped/printed feel. Counters are compact and sometimes partially pinched by the distressing, while curves read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than pure circles. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with straightforward geometry softened by the distressed silhouette.
Best suited for display typography where texture is an asset: posters, flyers, editorial headlines, music and event graphics, rugged brand marks, and packaging that benefits from a worn or screen-printed look. It can also work for short calls-to-action or labels, especially when set with ample tracking and strong contrast against the background.
The font projects a gritty, analog energy—like ink dragged through a dry ribbon, a weathered rubber stamp, or a photocopied poster. Its narrow stance and rough texture give it urgency and bite, leaning toward rugged, utilitarian, and slightly rebellious moods rather than polished minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact sans voice while embedding print-wear character directly into the letterforms. By combining simple, upright structures with consistent distressing, it aims to feel tactile and analog—more like an artifact than a neutral digital typeface.
Texture density varies slightly from glyph to glyph, which enhances the handmade/print-artifact impression. At smaller sizes the distressing can visually close counters and reduce clarity, while at display sizes the rough perimeter becomes a key stylistic feature.
