A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a sturdy, poster-oriented color. Letterforms are built from simple circles and straight stems, with largely uniform stroke weight and squared terminals. A consistent distressed treatment interrupts counters and edges across the set, creating chipped gaps and worn patches that read like abrasion or ink loss while keeping silhouettes clear. Spacing feels open and the round forms (O, C, G, 0) stay smooth and stable despite the texture, supporting legibility at larger sizes.
Best suited for display uses where the texture can be appreciated: posters, headline typography, bold branding, labels, and packaging. It can work for short blurbs and pull quotes, but longer passages will feel visually busy due to the distressed pattern. Large sizes and generous tracking help the worn details stay crisp and intentional.
The distressed surface gives the font a rough, utilitarian tone that suggests wear, friction, and real-world materials. It feels urban and hands-on—more like painted signage, stamped packaging, or battered equipment labeling than a pristine digital face. The overall impression is assertive and informal, with a deliberately imperfect finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward geometric sans structure while adding a rugged, distressed layer for character. It prioritizes impact and attitude over neutrality, aiming to evoke printed, painted, or stamped lettering that has been scuffed over time.
The distressing appears applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing recognizable breaks that act as a signature texture. Numerals are bold and straightforward, matching the same geometric rhythm as the letters. In paragraph settings, the texture becomes a prominent visual element, so line breaks and size will strongly influence how noisy or clean the text feels.
