A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with compact counters and tight apertures that keep the color dense. Many terminals look blunt and slightly softened, and the outlines show an intentional roughness—subtle waviness and chipping that reads like ink spread or worn letterpress. Proportions are tall with short extenders, and spacing is steady but visually lively due to the distressed edge texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, product packaging, and label-style graphics where texture is an asset. It can work for subheads or pull quotes when set with generous leading, but the dense counters and rough edges make it less ideal for small-size body text.
The font conveys a tough, workmanlike tone with a vintage-print flavor. Its rough edges and compact, muscular shapes suggest signage, stenciled or stamped labeling, and gritty editorial headlines rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-contrast-in-mass word shape with a deliberately imperfect print texture. By combining rounded-rectangle geometry with distressed edges, it aims to feel both sturdy and tactile—like bold display type pulled from vintage signage or worn presswork.
The distressed contouring is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving text a cohesive “printed” patina. Round characters (O, C, G, 0) retain a squarish, superelliptical feel, while straight-sided letters keep corners softened, avoiding sharp geometry.
