A heavy, block-centric sans with squared counters and rounded-rectangle construction, giving many letters a superelliptical, carved-out feel. Strokes are thick and compact, with slightly irregular edges that suggest a printed, cut, or ink-pressed texture rather than a clean digital outline. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with angular joins and occasional notches that create a rugged silhouette. Spacing appears fairly tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with strong, dark color on the page and clear, sturdy numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and bold branding where its dense texture can be appreciated. It can also work well for apparel graphics, album art, and packaging that aims for a rugged, handmade look; for longer reading, larger sizes help preserve clarity.
The tone is bold and rough-hewn—more punk flyer and workwear label than polished corporate. Its texture reads as tactile and imperfect, projecting a handmade, industrial attitude that feels loud, direct, and slightly rebellious.
The design appears intended to combine rounded-rectangle letter construction with a distressed, tactile finish, producing a sturdy display face that looks printed, cut, or stamped. It prioritizes impact and character over pristine smoothness, aiming for a strong visual signature in bold applications.
Uppercase forms are especially squarish and poster-like, while lowercase retains the same chunky geometry for a consistent voice in mixed-case settings. The roughened contour treatment is uniform across letters and figures, helping the texture feel intentional rather than accidental.
