A monolinear sans with rounded, modular construction and a distinctly broken/ink-worn texture throughout the strokes. Curves are built from simple arcs and near-circular bowls, while terminals often appear squared-off or softly rounded, with small gaps and irregular edges suggesting a stamped or stenciled application. Proportions are compact with relatively narrow bowls and counters, and spacing feels steady and straightforward, giving the alphabet a consistent, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase remains simple and open, while numerals follow the same cut-and-worn treatment, maintaining uniform stroke weight and sturdy silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where the distressed, stamped texture is an asset. It can work well for brand accents, labels, and short blocks of copy where a rugged industrial voice is desired. For longer reading, larger sizes will help preserve clarity and keep the texture from overwhelming the letterforms.
The overall tone is utilitarian and industrial, evoking labeling, workshop signage, and mid-century equipment markings. The distressed breaks add a gritty, analog feel—more rugged than friendly—while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable enough for display. It reads as practical, no-nonsense, and slightly nostalgic.
The design appears intended to combine simple rounded sans geometry with an intentionally worn, stenciled print effect, producing a practical display face that feels manufactured and tactile. The consistent stroke weight and modular forms aim for clarity and uniformity, while the broken edges provide character and a sense of physical production.
The intentional interruptions in strokes are frequent and systematic enough to feel designed rather than accidental, creating a strong texture when set in words. This texture becomes more prominent at smaller sizes, where the breaks and rough edges can dominate the color of the text, while at larger sizes the stamped character reads clearly and adds personality.
