A tall, condensed sans with simplified, print-like letterforms and a compact rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle contrast created by tapered ends and uneven terminals. Many glyphs show deliberate roughness—ragged edges, small nicks, and slightly chipped corners—giving the silhouettes a worn, inked look. Counters are generally open and straightforward, while curves and joins stay clean enough to keep words readable at display sizes.
This font is best suited to display typography where its condensed stance and distressed texture can read as intentional—posters, headlines, labels, and packaging. It can add personality to short UI headers or social graphics, but the rough edges and tight spacing make it less ideal for long-form body text at small sizes.
The texture reads as handmade and imperfect in an intentional way, suggesting a casual, street-level energy rather than polished corporate neutrality. The condensed proportions and distressed finish evoke a vintage-print or poster sensibility with a slightly rebellious edge.
The design appears intended to combine a compact, attention-grabbing build with a tactile, printed-by-hand feel. It prioritizes punch and personality over pristine geometry, aiming to look like ink laid down quickly and imperfectly on paper.
Uppercase forms are narrow and vertical, while lowercase stays similarly compact, producing dense lines in the sample text. The distressed treatment is applied consistently across letters and numerals, but with small variations that enhance the drawn/printed character. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the same rough terminal behavior seen in the letters.
