A condensed, blocky sans with heavy strokes, squared construction, and subtly rounded corners. Letterforms are compact and tall with straightforward geometry, open counters, and minimal curvature, producing a strong vertical rhythm. The outlines and interiors show consistent roughened texture—small chips, speckling, and uneven ink fill—evoking worn printing or stamped lettering while remaining legible. Spacing feels utilitarian and tight, supporting compact headlines and short lines of copy.
Well-suited for posters, packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks where a rugged, printed texture is desirable. It performs best in display sizes for titles, headers, and short promotional lines, and can add character to signage-style layouts or editorial callouts when used sparingly.
The overall tone is gritty and workwear-like, with a retro printed character that suggests posters, labels, and rubber-stamp ephemera. Its distressed surface adds a handmade, analog energy that can feel both industrial and slightly playful, especially at larger sizes.
Likely designed to provide a compact, attention-grabbing display face that combines straightforward, utilitarian shapes with a worn print texture. The goal appears to be a strong, legible silhouette with an unmistakably analog, stamped finish for themed and promotional design.
The distress is systematic rather than random, giving a cohesive “inked” look across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals and punctuation keep the same sturdy, condensed stance, helping maintain a consistent texture in mixed settings.
