A condensed, right-leaning text face with low-contrast strokes and visibly rough, ink-worn edges. Stems and curves are slightly irregular, with blunted terminals, uneven outlines, and occasional interior nicks that mimic dry brush or distressed letterpress printing. The uppercase is compact and upright in structure despite the slant, while the lowercase keeps a steady x-height with narrow bowls and simplified joins; counters tend to be tight, contributing to a dense overall color. Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-inked rhythm, with squarish forms and softened corners that reinforce the weathered texture.
Works well for short-to-medium display settings where a distressed, printed-from-type aesthetic is desirable—posters, covers, titles, and brand marks for craft, heritage, or gritty themes. In paragraphs it can be used for stylized excerpts or pull quotes, especially when the goal is texture and mood over maximum clarity.
The font reads as utilitarian and timeworn—like stamped packaging, field notes, or an old poster pulled from a wall. Its slanted, roughened construction adds urgency and motion, while the distressed texture brings a gritty, analog character suited to atmospheric or story-driven design.
The design appears intended to evoke an aged, imperfect print or hand-inked process while maintaining a coherent, narrow text structure. It balances a readable skeleton with deliberately worn outlines to provide a ready-made atmosphere for vintage or rugged visual identities.
Texture is consistently applied across the set, with most glyphs showing edge chatter and slight stroke waviness rather than dramatic deformation. Spacing appears moderately tight in running text, and the condensed proportions create strong vertical rhythm, making the type feel punchy but busy at smaller sizes.
