A condensed, sans-serif design with simple geometric construction and largely monolinear strokes, softened by irregular, worn edges and occasional interior nicks. Curves are broad and open, counters stay clear at text sizes, and terminals are mostly flat with slight inconsistencies that mimic imperfect inking or abrasion. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey a and g with compact bowls, while punctuation-like breaks and scuffs create a consistent distressed texture across the set. Figures are clean and sturdy, with the same lightly eroded surface treatment as the letters.
Works well for posters, branding accents, and packaging or label designs where a weathered, tactile impression is desired. It can also serve short-to-medium text in larger sizes, especially in editorial pulls or promotional copy that benefits from a gritty, industrial flavor.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and hands-on, like lettering pulled from shop signage, packaging stamps, or equipment markings that have seen use. The distress adds a gritty, lived-in character without pushing the shapes into illegibility, giving the face a pragmatic but expressive edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, functional sans structure while adding authenticity through controlled wear—evoking printed ephemera, stamped goods, or aged signage. The distress is applied to suggest material texture and use over time while preserving clear letterforms for practical display typography.
Distressing appears as small chips, speckling, and uneven stroke boundaries rather than heavy deformation, so the silhouette remains stable and readable. The texture is fairly consistent from glyph to glyph, helping paragraphs retain an even gray value while still showing a tactile, print-worn personality.
