A heavy, block-built sans with squared outlines and flattened curves that read as faceted and slightly notched at corners and joins. Counters are compact and often rectangular, with overall forms leaning geometric and condensed in feel without becoming narrow. The uppercase has a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase keeps the same rigid construction and tall proportions, producing an assertive, uniform texture in text. Throughout, the face includes intentional wear: small chips and voids interrupt strokes and edges, creating a printed, scuffed surface effect.
Best suited for display settings where impact matters: posters, headlines, merchandise graphics, bold signage, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, tactile look. It also fits event branding and sports or team-style visuals where strong silhouettes and an industrial edge help carry the message.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian tone with a vintage print-shop grit. Its hard geometry and distressed texture evoke industrial labeling, stamped signage, and rugged display typography, giving text a forceful, no-nonsense character.
The design appears intended to combine a blunt, geometric sans structure with faceted shaping and a deliberately weathered finish, delivering instant presence and a pre-worn print aesthetic. It aims for high visual authority and a gritty character that reads quickly in short phrases and titles.
The distressed cut-ins vary from glyph to glyph, so repeated letters can feel lively and less sterile than a clean geometric sans. The numerals match the same squared, heavy construction and remain highly prominent at display sizes, while small sizes may emphasize the internal wear details and reduce clarity.
