A condensed, heavy display face with sharply irregular outlines and a rugged, blotchy texture that suggests uneven inking or worn letterpress. Strokes stay mostly vertical and upright, with tapered joins and occasional notches that break up the silhouette. Counters are small and sometimes partially clogged, increasing overall darkness and contrast between filled and open areas. The rhythm is compact and energetic, with inconsistent edge erosion that gives each glyph a slightly unique, distressed imprint while keeping recognizable, traditional letterforms.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, cover art, packaging callouts, and branding accents where texture is desired. It can work for editorial display lines or pull quotes when you want a weathered, printed feel, but it is less appropriate for long passages or small UI text where the distressed detailing can interfere with readability.
The font communicates a gritty, timeworn attitude—like a headline pulled from an old, heavily handled poster or a stamp with imperfect coverage. Its rough perimeter and dense color create a sense of urgency and menace, leaning into dramatic, pulp-like or underground tones rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to emulate imperfect, tactile printing—combining condensed, authoritative letterforms with deliberate wear and ink spread to create a gritty display voice. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture over neutrality, aiming for a bold, aged impression that reads quickly at headline scale.
In the sample text, the distressed edges remain highly visible even at larger sizes, and the tight proportions create strong word shapes with a punchy, poster-ready presence. The rough texture is integral to the design, so smooth reproduction or very small sizes may reduce clarity as counters and inner details darken.
