A heavy, compact sans with chunky strokes and strongly irregular, ragged contours. Edges look chewed and blotted, with uneven inking that creates small nicks, bumps, and occasional pinched counters. The forms keep a generally upright, simple construction, but the perimeter distortion and variable texture dominate the silhouette, producing a rough, stamped/printed feel. Spacing appears sturdy and straightforward, and the numerals match the same distressed, worn rhythm as the letters.
Best suited to display settings where a gritty, distressed voice is desirable—posters, music and nightlife graphics, bold editorial headlines, and attention-grabbing packaging. It can work for short subheads or labels when set large, but the heavy texture may reduce clarity in long passages or small UI text.
The overall tone is gritty and DIY, with a confrontational, street-level energy. The distressed texture evokes worn posters, rough printing, and distressed signage, lending an imperfect, analog attitude that reads as edgy and bold.
The design appears intended to deliver impact through mass and texture: a straightforward, blocky skeleton overlaid with deliberate wear and inking irregularities. It prioritizes a distressed, analog-print impression while maintaining recognizable letter shapes for quick headline readability.
Texture is consistent across upper and lower case, with lowercase retaining a blocky, simplified structure that stays legible despite the erosion. The distressing is strong enough to become a key visual feature, so it benefits from generous size and contrast against the background.
