A compact, heavy sans with squared, rounded-rectangle counters and broadly flattened curves. Strokes stay dense and mostly uniform, with slightly irregular edges that read like ink spread or a worn stamp. The design is tightly proportioned with short ascenders/descenders, a high x-height, and narrow apertures that keep the silhouette chunky. Forms like O/0 and other rounded letters resolve into superellipse-like shapes rather than true circles, giving the face a solid, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to posters, bold headlines, brand marks, and packaging where a sturdy, tactile sans can carry personality. It also works well for signage, labels, and merch graphics that benefit from a stamped or printed texture and strong silhouette.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, with a tactile, imperfect texture that suggests printed ephemera, packaging, or signage. It feels confident and direct, leaning toward a vintage-industrial voice rather than sleek modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to combine a condensed, high-impact grotesque structure with rounded-rectangle geometry and a deliberately roughened edge. The goal reads as maximum presence and immediacy, evoking utilitarian print and industrial labeling while staying simple and sans-focused.
Because the interior spaces are compact and many joins are blunt, the font’s impact is strongest at display sizes; the distressed edge texture becomes part of the personality and can soften crispness in smaller settings. Numerals match the uppercase’s sturdy, squared feel, supporting a consistent headline and labeling system.
