A heavy, condensed display sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical stance. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry with softened corners and broadly squared curves, creating a chunky, superelliptic texture across lines. Subtle irregularities and occasional breaks in the strokes introduce a worn, ink-pressed feel, while counters stay relatively small and tight to maintain density. Width and internal spacing vary slightly between glyphs, producing an energetic rhythm without losing overall cohesion.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing packaging where dense black shapes and texture are an advantage. It also works well for signage, event graphics, merchandise, and social tiles that benefit from a rugged, stamped look rather than precise refinement.
The font reads bold and tough, with a gritty, street-poster attitude. Its rounded blocks keep it approachable and slightly playful, while the distressed edges add a handcrafted, imperfect edge that feels lived-in rather than polished.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, using rounded block construction for clarity at large sizes and distressed details to evoke a handmade, printed or cut-stencil character.
The texture appears inconsistent by design—some glyphs show nicks, gaps, or uneven edges that mimic rough printing or cut-out forms. The condensed build and small counters can make long passages feel heavy, but it creates strong impact in short phrases.
