A heavy display sans with wide, compact letterforms and rounded corners, built from thick strokes and simplified geometry. The face uses irregular interior knockouts and worn-looking voids that create a hollowed, distressed texture across stems and bowls. Curves are generous and slightly squarish, with sturdy terminals and minimal stroke modulation, producing a dense, high-impact silhouette. Spacing appears moderately tight and the overall rhythm is blocky and even, with the internal cutouts providing most of the visual movement.
Best suited to short-form display work where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It performs especially well at medium to large sizes where the distressed hollowing remains legible and adds character without overwhelming the letterforms.
The distressed knockouts give the font a tough, utilitarian attitude—suggesting printed-on, weathered, or stamped signage—while the rounded construction keeps it friendly and approachable. The result feels energetic and informal, with a slightly retro, poster-like punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, hollowed texture—evoking worn print, industrial stenciling, or distressed stamp effects—while maintaining straightforward, readable shapes for attention-grabbing display typography.
Counters are generally large and open, but the texture introduces small voids that can vary from glyph to glyph, creating an intentionally imperfect, tactile pattern. Numerals and capitals share the same robust construction, and the texture remains consistent at larger sizes where the interior knockouts read clearly.
