A tightly condensed, forward-slanted sans with heavy, compact forms and an energetic rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle curves and narrow internal counters that keep the texture dark and continuous. Terminals and joins show a roughened, ink-worn edge, giving the outlines a slightly distressed, screen-printed feel while maintaining consistent proportions across the set. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy, vertical blocks, and the lowercase keeps a large body with short extenders for dense line setting.
Well-suited to posters, event graphics, sports or fitness branding, and bold editorial headlines where compression and speed are desirable. It also works for apparel marks, stickers, and packaging that benefit from a tough, printed texture. For longer copy or small UI sizes, the dense counters and distressed edges may reduce clarity.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and high-impact—like a headline that’s meant to push forward. The distressed edges add a raw, street and print-shop character, shifting the feel from clean modernism to something more rugged and aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed italic stance with rugged edges for a punchy, street-forward display voice. Its rounded-rectangle construction keeps shapes cohesive while the distressing adds grit and immediacy.
Because of the tight counters and dark massing, the face reads best at display sizes where the interior shapes can open up. The slant and condensed width create strong horizontal momentum, and the distressed contouring is consistent enough to feel intentional rather than accidental.
