A condensed, heavy sans with a hand-inked, distressed finish. Strokes are mostly straight and upright with simplified, blocky construction and slightly rounded corners, while the contours show consistent roughness, nicks, and uneven inking that suggest worn printing or dry brush texture. Counters are generally compact and rectangular-leaning, and terminals often look blunted or softly chipped. Spacing is tight and the rhythm is punchy, producing strong, poster-like color on the page while maintaining clear letter identities across upper- and lowercase as well as numerals.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, apparel graphics, packaging, stickers, and social graphics. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a rugged, printed feel, but the distressing and tight rhythm make it less ideal for small-size body copy.
The texture and compact proportions give the face a gritty, DIY attitude with a friendly, informal edge. It feels like a screen-printed flyer, stamped packaging, or a hand-made sign—energetic and imperfect in a deliberate way.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, condensed impact while adding character through consistent wear and inking artifacts, emulating the look of stamped or screen-printed type. It prioritizes bold presence and a tactile, analog feel over pristine geometric precision.
The distressed detailing is present both along the outer edges and as small interior breaks, creating a convincingly worn impression without fully obscuring counters. Numerals and uppercase are especially bold and attention-grabbing, while the lowercase keeps the same rough, compact voice for longer lines of display text.
