A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions, rounded-rectangle curves, and mostly straight-sided construction. The strokes are thick and fairly even, with softened corners and simplified joins that keep counters compact and punchy. Throughout the alphabet and numerals, the letterforms carry intentional roughness—small nicks, mottled edges, and uneven ink coverage—creating a printed, weathered texture while maintaining clear silhouettes. Spacing is generally tight and vertical, reinforcing a dense, stacked rhythm in words and headlines.
Best suited to display settings where impact and texture matter: posters, bold headlines, packaging and label design, merchandise graphics, and branding that wants a rugged, printed look. It can also work for short subheads or callouts, but the distressed edges suggest avoiding long, small-size body text where the texture could reduce clarity.
The face reads bold and assertive, with a utilitarian, hands-on character. Its worn texture adds a retro, workwear feel—more screen-printed poster or stamped label than clean corporate signage—bringing grit and immediacy to short messages.
The design appears intended to combine condensed, high-impact letterforms with a deliberately imperfect print texture, evoking stamped, screen-printed, or letterpress-inspired output while staying firmly in a simplified sans structure.
The distressed pattern is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, so the texture becomes part of the overall color rather than an occasional effect. Numerals are compact and sturdy, matching the alphabet’s narrow stance and rounded-rect geometry.
