A condensed, heavy sans with blocky proportions and tall, straight-sided stems. Letterforms are built from mostly vertical and horizontal strokes with compact counters and squared terminals, producing a strong, poster-like color. A consistent worn texture appears throughout—small chips, speckling, and irregular interior voids—creating rough edges while keeping overall silhouettes stable and legible. The lowercase follows the same condensed structure, with sturdy bowls and minimal modulation, and numerals match the dense, utilitarian rhythm.
Works best for impactful display settings such as posters, headlines, title treatments, packaging, and label-style graphics where a rough, tactile texture is desirable. It can also suit event flyers or merch graphics that aim for an industrial or vintage print atmosphere.
The texture and compressed heft convey a tough, workmanlike tone with a lived-in, printed feel. It reads as gritty and no-nonsense, suggesting worn signage, stamped labeling, or aged display typography rather than polished corporate minimalism.
Likely designed to deliver a strong condensed display voice while adding believable wear and printing artifacts for character. The goal appears to be high-impact typography with a distressed surface that suggests age, grit, and physical production.
Texture density is noticeable even at larger sizes, so the face naturally signals “inked” or “weathered” reproduction. The narrow build and tight counters create a compact word shape that stays impactful in short lines and headings.
