A condensed, heavy display face with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes are generally straight-sided with subtly rounded corners, and terminals tend toward blunt cuts. Throughout the set, edges show deliberate roughness and small interior nicks that mimic worn ink or aged printing, giving each letter a slightly uneven silhouette while keeping a consistent overall structure. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with a simple, utilitarian build; numerals match the same narrow, blocky rhythm for strong lineup in sequences.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and signage where the narrow footprint and heavy weight can save space while maintaining impact. It also works well for branding moments that benefit from an aged, industrial texture.
The texture and tight, forceful forms convey a rugged, workmanlike tone—evoking stamped signage, old packaging, and hard-used materials. It feels assertive and no-nonsense, with an intentionally imperfect finish that adds grit and character rather than polish.
The design appears intended to combine condensed, high-impact display proportions with a weathered print texture, offering the immediacy of bold signage lettering while adding a lived-in, vintage surface character.
The distressed treatment reads as surface wear rather than extreme deformation, so letterforms remain clear at display sizes while still showing a tactile, printed feel. Spacing and widths vary slightly across characters, reinforcing an analog, hand-pressed impression.
