A compact, heavy sans with a condensed stance and blunt terminals. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear in feel, with subtly uneven edges that create a printed, worn texture rather than crisp vector outlines. Counters are relatively tight and rounded where they occur (notably in O, Q, and 0), while straight stems and simple joins keep the construction sturdy and legible at display sizes. Overall spacing feels tight and efficient, reinforcing a bold, blocky rhythm across words and numbers.
Best suited for posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks where a bold, tactile presence is desirable. The condensed build helps fit more characters into narrow spaces, making it effective for badges, signage-style layouts, and high-impact titles.
The distressed silhouette and dense color give the font a rugged, utilitarian voice with a vintage, workmanlike edge. It reads like ink pressed through a rough process—confident, direct, and slightly gritty—suited to messaging that wants impact without polish.
Likely intended to deliver a strong display sans with a deliberately weathered print character. The design prioritizes bold presence, compact width, and a consistent distressed texture to evoke industrial or vintage production while remaining readable.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, suggesting an intentional roughened outline rather than random noise. Round characters maintain a strong, compact oval shape, while diagonals (like V, W, X, and Y) stay thick and sturdy, helping the set hold together in headlines and short bursts of text.
