A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and softened corners. Strokes are largely uniform with subtle modulation, and counters tend to be tight, keeping shapes dense and dark on the page. Edges show a lightly distressed, ink-worn texture that breaks up the solid fills without obscuring the letterforms. The overall construction is straightforward and geometric, with condensed proportions and sturdy vertical emphasis.
Well suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, cover lines, section headers, product packaging, and label-style graphics. The condensed footprint helps fit longer words into tight spaces, and the textured edges add character in branding or themed layouts where a clean, clinical finish isn’t desired.
The font reads as tough and utilitarian, with a workmanlike presence reminiscent of stamped labeling, stenciled packaging, or worn print. Its textured finish adds a tactile, analog feel while the condensed build keeps the tone direct and assertive.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while maintaining simple, geometric letterforms. The worn texture appears intended to evoke physical print processes and add grit without sacrificing legibility at display sizes.
Spacing appears tuned for display: the narrow letterforms and compact internal space create strong rhythm in headlines, while the distressed texture becomes more noticeable as sizes increase. Numerals share the same dense, rounded-rect geometry and bold presence as the letters.
