A condensed, heavily slanted sans with compact proportions and thick, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms show roughened contours and uneven ink edges that suggest worn printing or screen-ink drag, with occasional nicks and softened corners throughout. Counters are relatively tight, terminals tend to be blunt, and the overall rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, producing a dense, forceful texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where a rugged, high-impact voice is desired—posters, headlines, sports or action-themed branding, and cover art. It works especially well for short statements, logos, and callouts where the distressed texture can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font conveys a gritty, vintage intensity—like distressed sports lettering or hard-used display type on posters and packaging. Its rough texture and aggressive slant read as fast, loud, and tactile, emphasizing impact over refinement.
The design appears intended to combine condensed, italicized speed with a deliberately worn print texture, creating instant attitude and visual noise without relying on added graphic effects.
Caps and figures maintain strong vertical presence with minimal interior openness, so spacing and line breaks become important for clarity at smaller sizes. The distressed treatment is consistent across the set, keeping the texture coherent in both single words and longer phrases.
