A compact, heavy sans with squared-off structure and softened, rounded corners that give many letters a rounded-rectangle feel. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with tight apertures and small internal counters that keep the texture dense. Edges show slight roughness and irregularity, like printed ink spread or worn stamping, adding a tactile finish. Lowercase is sturdy with a tall x-height and short extenders, while numerals are similarly compact and block-driven for strong alignment in display settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster typography, badges, logos, and packaging. It also fits wayfinding or label-style signage where a bold, condensed voice is needed and the slightly distressed texture can add personality.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, with a vintage, stamped aesthetic that reads as bold and no-nonsense. Its dense rhythm and slightly worn edges suggest signage, packaging, or industrial labeling, giving words a forceful, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, pairing a rounded-rectangular construction with a subtly worn finish. It aims for a practical, display-forward voice that feels manufactured or stamped rather than pristine.
Round forms (O/0, C, G) stay more squarish than circular, and bowls tend to be tight, which increases impact but reduces delicacy at smaller sizes. The slightly uneven edges contribute character, especially in larger headlines where the texture becomes part of the voice.
