This typeface uses heavy, compact letterforms with mostly rounded corners and simplified, geometric construction. A narrow inline cut runs through the strokes, creating a carved-through look that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with distressed edge breaks and scuffed interior texture that gives each glyph a worn, printed feel. Curves are broadly drawn and counters are roomy for the weight, while joins and terminals tend toward blunt, slab-like finishes that reinforce the blocky silhouette.
It works best for display typography where texture and impact are desirable—posters, headlines, apparel graphics, packaging, and promotional materials. The inline and distress details are likely to hold up best at medium-to-large sizes, where the carved channel and worn texture remain legible.
The overall tone feels gritty and urban, like inked signage that has been weathered or repeatedly stamped. Its distressed inline detail adds an energetic, hand-worn character that reads as bold, assertive, and slightly playful rather than refined.
The design appears intended to blend bold, block signage forms with a carved inline and distressed treatment, evoking stenciled or screen-printed lettering with a weathered finish. The goal is high-impact display type that feels industrial and tactile rather than clean and minimal.
The inline channel is most visible on verticals and bowls, producing a strong highlight that helps separate mass at larger sizes. The distressing is integrated throughout the set, so repeated letters won’t look perfectly uniform, enhancing a roughened display texture.
