A compressed, forward-leaning sans with compact proportions and a tight, energetic rhythm. Strokes are heavy and slightly uneven, with visibly rough edges and ink-like texture that suggests dry-brush or worn printing. Curves are somewhat squared-off in places, counters run small, and terminals tend to be blunt, contributing to dense, high-impact letterforms. The numerals follow the same narrow, rugged construction for a cohesive, poster-ready set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging accents, and apparel graphics where the rough texture can read clearly. It can also work for editorial openers or pull quotes when you want a compressed, energetic voice; for long text, the dense counters and texture will be more demanding.
The overall tone feels gritty and utilitarian, like stamped marking, screen-printed merch, or weathered signage. Its aggressive slant and distressed texture add urgency and movement, giving text a loud, lived-in character rather than a polished one.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, attention-grabbing sans with a deliberately distressed finish, evoking analog production and rugged print artifacts while maintaining straightforward, readable letterforms.
The texture introduces deliberate irregularity, so color can look darker in spots where strokes thicken and edges fray. At smaller sizes the distressed details may close up, while at display sizes the worn contour becomes a defining feature.
