A heavy, compact sans with broad proportions and blunt terminals, built from mostly geometric shapes softened by subtle rounding. Letterforms are marked by deliberate nicks, notches, and roughened edges that create a distressed, stamped effect rather than smooth outlines. Counters are generally open and round, with sturdy joins and minimal stroke modulation, producing a dense, poster-friendly silhouette. Spacing feels generous for the weight, helping the texture read as intentional rather than muddy in short lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where texture and impact matter—posters, bold headlines, event graphics, packaging, labels, and punchy branding. It can also work for short signage and interface accents where a rugged, stamped look is desired, but the distressed edges make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is rugged and workmanlike, with a slightly mischievous, handmade energy. Its distressed cutouts suggest utilitarian labeling, stenciled packaging, or vintage display printing, giving it an informal, characterful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact sans voice with built-in wear and irregularity, mimicking ink spread, stamped type, or distressed print. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and recognizable forms while adding surface character to avoid a purely neutral, geometric feel.
The distressing appears consistently applied across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with small edge breaks that add texture without fully fragmenting the forms. Round characters like O/Q and 8/9 emphasize the font’s punchy mass, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) retain strong, blocky presence. Numerals are bold and straightforward, matching the same roughened treatment for a cohesive set.
