A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with rounded terminals and slightly irregular edges that read like ink spread or a worn stamp. Counters are tight and simplified, and the overall proportions are condensed with short extenders and an emphatic, solid color on the page. The rhythm is sturdy and upright, favoring blunt geometry over calligraphic modulation.
Best suited to display settings where impact and personality are priorities: posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and signage. It also works well for short UI labels or section headers when a sturdy, tactile feel is desired, but is less ideal for small sizes or dense paragraphs due to the tight counters and heavy texture.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian confidence with a friendly, slightly mischievous edge. Its softened corners keep the tone approachable, while the dense weight and subtly distressed texture suggest analog printing, workwear labeling, and vintage signage.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that blends rounded-rectangle geometry with a subtly worn print character. The goal appears to be strong legibility at display sizes while adding an analog, stamped personality for branding and editorial titling.
In longer text the strong texture becomes a primary feature, so spacing and line length matter; the face tends to feel most comfortable when given room to breathe. The squared-round geometry stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-like voice.
