A condensed, heavy sans with softly squared (superellipse-like) curves and blunt terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear, but the outlines show deliberate irregularity and edge roughness that reads like ink spread or a stamped impression. Counters are compact and rounded-rectangular, and the overall construction stays upright and straightforward, with slightly uneven stroke edges creating a handmade texture. Capitals are tall and narrow with simple geometry, while lowercase forms remain compact and sturdy with modest differentiation and clear, closed counters in letters like a, e, and p.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture is an asset: posters, packaging, labels, menus, and signage. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when you want a bold, stamped tone without overt ornamentation.
The texture and blunt geometry evoke a pragmatic, workwear feel—part rubber-stamp, part letterpress. It carries a casual toughness that can feel vintage and industrial, with a slightly imperfect, human-made tone rather than polished corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to combine a straightforward condensed sans structure with a deliberately distressed print texture, producing strong readability at display sizes while adding character reminiscent of analog production methods.
The roughness is consistent across glyphs, giving long text a lightly distressed color on the page. Numerals match the same compact, blocky rhythm, and wide letters like W stay relatively tight, reinforcing the condensed, poster-ready cadence.
