A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and visibly irregular contours. Strokes are mostly monoline, but the edges wobble and fray like stamped ink, giving counters and terminals a soft, slightly eroded look. Round letters (O, C, G) read as squarish bowls with generous corner radius, while verticals dominate the rhythm and keep the texture consistent across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky logic, with small notches and uneven stroke boundaries that reinforce the hand-made impression.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, badges, packaging callouts, and identity wordmarks where the rough texture can be appreciated. It can also work for display copy in editorial or event graphics when you want a compact, ink-stamped feel, but it is less appropriate for small-size body text.
The overall tone is raw and energetic, like a poster letterpress or marker lettering cleaned up into a font. Its narrow stance and chunky color create urgency, while the imperfect outlines add a casual, rebellious warmth. The texture suggests DIY print, underground flyers, and rough-cut signage rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to combine condensed display utility with a deliberately imperfect, inked texture—capturing the look of stamped or hand-printed lettering while retaining a consistent sans structure.
At larger sizes the distressed edge character becomes a primary feature, creating a lively, tactile surface. In continuous text the tight proportions and strong vertical emphasis form a dense, rhythmic band, so spacing and line length will noticeably affect readability.
