A condensed, all-caps-forward display face with sturdy verticals, tapered joins, and subtly flared terminals. Strokes show visible texture and uneven edges, as if printed with worn type or a dry brush, with occasional interior voids and slight contour wobble that creates a distressed rhythm. Counters are compact and shapes are simplified, keeping letters legible while emphasizing a gritty, poster-like silhouette. Numerals and lowercase follow the same narrow proportions and roughened finish, maintaining consistent density across lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where the distressed texture can be appreciated and the narrow proportions help fit more characters per line. It also works for rustic or retro-inspired signage and event graphics, especially when paired with simple supporting text.
The overall tone feels vintage and workmanlike, with a rugged, slightly playful edge. Its worn ink texture suggests heritage craft, old posters, and utilitarian signage rather than polished contemporary branding.
The design appears intended to mimic worn printing and handcrafted lettering while preserving strong, compact letterforms for impactful display typography. It prioritizes character and surface texture over smooth refinement, creating a bold, vintage-leaning voice for themed branding and editorial display.
The texture is strongest along stems and bowls, producing a speckled, imperfect color that reads well at larger sizes. Spacing appears relatively tight and the condensed widths amplify vertical momentum, making the face feel tall and punchy in headline settings.
