A condensed, upright sans with monoline-to-lightly modulated strokes and deliberately roughened edges. Letterforms are simple and legible, with rounded corners and slightly uneven contours that mimic worn ink or dry brush printing. Counters stay fairly open for the width, while terminals often look blunted or softly tapered, giving the set a tactile, imperfect finish. Spacing feels tight and vertical, producing a compact rhythm that holds together well in blocks of text while still showing its texture.
Best suited to display work where texture is part of the message: posters, flyers, product packaging, craft labels, and storefront or wayfinding-style graphics. It can also work for short blurbs or pull quotes when you want a compact, characterful voice, especially at moderate-to-large sizes where the distressed detail is clearly perceived.
The texture and irregular outline give it a handmade, timeworn tone—suggesting printed ephemera, stamped labels, or well-used signage. It reads friendly and informal, with a subtle grit that adds character without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, condensed sans structure while adding personality through consistent distressing and slightly irregular contours. It aims for an authentic, printed-by-hand feel that stays readable and organized in real-world layout settings.
Uppercase shapes skew tall and compact, and the distressed treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The sample text shows the texture remaining visible at larger sizes, while smaller sizes may need extra tracking to prevent the rough edges from visually filling in.
