A tightly set, heavy display face with condensed proportions and a strong, poster-like silhouette. Strokes are mostly straight and blocky with squared terminals, while counters are compact and sometimes irregular. A consistent distressed texture runs through the letters—peppered pinholes, rough edges, and uneven ink density—creating the feel of worn printing. The overall construction reads as a simplified grotesque/sans foundation that’s been mechanically roughed up, keeping an upright stance and a steady rhythm across upper- and lowercase and numerals.
Best suited for impactful headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where texture is part of the message. It works well for badges, merch graphics, event titles, and signage-style layouts that want a worn, tactile print impression. Use with generous size and spacing when you need the distressed details to read clearly.
The texture and blunt shapes give it a tough, workmanlike tone—part old poster, part rubber-stamp grit. It suggests analog production, wear, and utilitarian signage, but the chunky forms also add a friendly, slightly quirky energy in short phrases.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, condensed voice with built-in printed wear—capturing the look of aged ink, stamped lettering, or rough press output while keeping a straightforward, readable structure for display typography.
The distressing is fairly uniform across the character set, so the “aged” effect feels intentional rather than accidental, and it remains legible at display sizes. Because the counters are tight and the texture is prominent, it will look heavier and darker as size decreases or when tightly tracked.
