A condensed, forward-slanted display face with angular, chiseled letterforms and visibly roughened edges. Strokes feel brushy and slightly uneven, with occasional interior nicks and tapered terminals that create a hand-inked, worn-print impression. Counters are narrow and often squared-off, and the rhythm is tight with compact spacing and an overall tall, compressed silhouette. Uppercase forms read blocky and assertive while the lowercase keeps the same lean and bite, producing a consistent, rugged texture across lines.
Best suited to short, prominent text where texture and attitude are desirable—posters, headlines, title cards, album artwork, and energetic branding. It can also work for packaging and labels that benefit from a rough, stamped or screen-printed feel, especially at larger sizes where the edge detail remains legible.
The tone is gritty and high-impact, suggesting urgency and a street-level, DIY attitude. Its distressed texture and sharp geometry evoke pulp headlines, action-forward branding, and rough print ephemera rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver condensed, slanted impact with a deliberately distressed, hand-printed finish—prioritizing energy and character over neutrality. Its sharp corners and worn edges suggest a display font built to add grit and motion to titles and branding.
The numerals and uppercase carry strong vertical emphasis, and the italic slant helps the face feel fast and kinetic. The distressing appears integrated into the outlines rather than added as random noise, giving the font a cohesive worn character in both large display settings and tighter word shapes.
