A condensed, monolinear sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners. Strokes keep a steady thickness with minimal contrast, while edges show subtle irregularity that reads like ink spread or lightly distressed printing. Counters are compact and often squarish, and curves resolve into flattened arcs rather than perfect circles. Overall spacing and proportions feel tight and efficient, with a consistent, upright rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Works well for packaging, labels, and branding that benefits from a sturdy, approachable industrial feel. The condensed proportions make it effective for headlines and short text in space-constrained layouts, and the subtle roughness can add character in posters and signage-style compositions.
The font conveys a practical, workmanlike tone with a touch of analog grit. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly, but the narrow build and slightly rough finish push it toward an industrial, no-nonsense voice that can feel both retro and contemporary.
Likely designed to combine compact, space-saving proportions with rounded, superelliptic forms for a friendly-but-functional sans. The lightly distressed edges suggest an intention to evoke printed ephemera or hand-inked production while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly legible.
Lowercase forms maintain simple, sturdy shapes with compact apertures; the dot on i/j appears as a small square/rounded square, reinforcing the squared theme. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rect logic for a cohesive text and display color. The texture is noticeable at larger sizes, where the uneven edge becomes part of the personality.
