A heavy, condensed sans with compact proportions and slightly irregular outlines. Strokes are thick and blunt, with subtly wobbly edges and occasional nicks that create a distressed, ink-pressed feel. Counters are small but generally open enough to keep letters recognizable, and round forms (like O, Q, and 0) read as softened rectangles with organic variation rather than perfect geometry. Spacing and widths vary modestly by glyph, reinforcing a hand-rendered rhythm while maintaining a consistent overall color.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, branding marks, labels, and merchandise graphics where texture is an asset. It can work for subheads or pull quotes at larger sizes, but the distressed edges and tight counters may reduce clarity in long passages or small-screen UI text.
The texture and uneven edges give the face a gritty, analog personality—more stamped and worn than polished. It suggests underground posters, DIY signage, and a tough, utilitarian tone rather than refinement or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver bold impact with an intentionally imperfect, printed texture—evoking worn stencil/press artifacts while staying legible and straightforward in structure.
Uppercase is assertive and blocky, while lowercase retains the same weight with simple, sturdy constructions; the single-storey a and compact e support an informal, straightforward voice. Numerals follow the same condensed, rugged logic, with strong silhouettes suited to attention-grabbing settings.
