A heavy, all-caps-forward sans with compact proportions and broad, blocky forms. Curves are simplified into crisp planes, giving bowls and shoulders a chiseled, faceted feel, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. A consistent distressed texture breaks up the strokes with irregular chips and scuffs, adding strong surface noise without changing the underlying geometry. The lowercase is sturdy and upright with a tall x-height and minimal modulation, and the figures match the same blunt, high-impact construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and merchandise graphics where a rugged, high-impact voice is desired. It works well in short phrases, badges, and display settings, especially when printed large enough for the distressed detailing to read as intentional texture.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, mixing an industrial poster sensibility with a worn, street-level grit. The faceted shapes add a hard-edged, machined character, while the distressing brings a vintage, weather-beaten attitude suited to loud, attention-seeking messaging.
Likely intended as a statement display face that combines hard, faceted construction with a deliberately worn overlay, delivering an industrial, vintage-leaning impact for branding and promotional typography.
The texture is prominent enough to become a defining feature, especially at smaller sizes where the chips can visually fill in details. Spacing appears designed for dense, headline setting, with a strong, even rhythm across the sample text.
