A geometric, chamfered sans with a strong octagonal construction and frequent angled terminals, giving round letters like C, G, O, and Q a faceted, sign-like silhouette. Strokes are mostly monolinear with crisp corners, while the edges and counters show a consistent worn texture—small chips, speckling, and rough breaks that mimic distressed ink or abraded paint. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with open apertures and clear, engineered letter shapes that maintain legibility even with the surface wear.
Best suited for display settings where texture and attitude are desirable—posters, event graphics, album art, apparel, labels, and packaging. It can also work for on-screen headings and game/film UI elements that need a rugged, industrial flavor, while extended paragraph text is more effective at larger sizes due to the distressed detailing.
The overall tone feels industrial and hardwearing, like marking paint on equipment, stamped labeling, or weathered signage. The faceted geometry reads as technical and no-nonsense, while the distressed finish adds grit, age, and a tactile, street-level realism.
The design appears intended to merge a strict, engineered octagonal skeleton with a deliberate wear layer, delivering a font that feels both technical and battle-tested. It aims to evoke manufactured lettering—stenciled, stamped, or painted—then aged through use, friction, or rough printing.
The numerals echo the same faceted geometry, with angled corners and a bold, poster-friendly presence. The distress is evenly distributed across glyphs, creating a cohesive “printed-and-worn” texture rather than random degradation, which helps long passages retain a consistent rhythm.
