A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and compact counters. Strokes are largely monolinear, with softened corners and slightly uneven edges that suggest inking, stamping, or letterpress wear rather than crisp geometry. Proportions are tall and tight, with short apertures in letters like C, S, and G, and a generally narrow set that keeps words dense and vertical. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with simplified forms, while figures are sturdy and utilitarian, matching the caps’ compressed rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, product packaging, labels, and bold signage where a dense, authoritative presence is desirable. It can also work for branding accents and callouts when set with ample size and breathing room to preserve legibility.
The font projects an assertive, workmanlike tone—somewhere between industrial labeling and distressed display typography. Its slightly rough finish adds grit and immediacy, giving headlines a tactile, printed feel without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining condensed display proportions with rounded-rectilinear shapes and a deliberately worn edge to evoke physical print or stamped marking.
The condensed width and tight internal spaces make the texture quite dark in paragraphs, especially where letters with small counters cluster. The roughened perimeter reads as intentional texture at display sizes and becomes less distinct as sizes decrease, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect clarity.
