A heavy, compact sans with squared forms and rounded corners, built from broad strokes and blunt terminals. Counters are relatively small and often rectangular, with occasional notch-like cut-ins that suggest ink traps or simplified stencil joins. The outlines carry deliberate wear: subtle chips, pitting, and rough interior edges create an uneven printed texture while keeping the letterforms highly legible. Lowercase proportions are tall with sturdy verticals, and the overall rhythm is blocky and stable, favoring straight-sided geometry over curves.
Best suited to short to mid-length settings where impact matters: posters, bold editorial callouts, product packaging, apparel graphics, and signage that wants a rugged tone. It can also work for display-sized branding elements where a retro-industrial texture helps differentiate a mark or headline.
The font reads as tough and utilitarian, like stamped labeling, workwear graphics, or rough screenprint. Its distressed texture adds grit and a hands-on, imperfect authenticity, while the underlying geometric structure keeps it direct and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed-feeling display voice with a controlled distressed finish—combining a solid, geometric foundation with print-wear artifacts for a tactile, hard-working look.
The distress is consistent across the set—more like worn ink and minor edge damage than chaotic distortion—so it holds together well in words and lines of text. Narrow apertures and tight counters increase density, giving headlines a strong, poster-like presence.
