A condensed, block-forward sans with tall proportions and heavy, compact silhouettes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle logic, keeping bowls and counters more squarish than circular, while joins and terminals are predominantly blunt and vertical. The outlines show deliberate irregularity—subtle nicks, stepped edges, and slightly uneven contours—creating a worn, stamped impression. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are restrained, producing a dense texture that holds together strongly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, short callouts, and branding moments that need strong presence in limited horizontal space. It can work well on packaging, labels, and signage where a rugged, printed look is desirable, and where the distressed detailing can remain visible at larger sizes.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a vintage print-shop character. Its compressed width and distressed edges read as loud and assertive, suggesting grit, urgency, and a hands-on, mechanical sensibility rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to combine a tightly condensed display structure with a purposely weathered, inked texture to evoke stamped or letterpress-like output. It prioritizes impact and character over neutrality, aiming for bold messaging in space-efficient compositions.
The caps and numerals feel especially rigid and poster-ready, while the lowercase keeps the same compressed rhythm and sturdy stance. Spacing appears tuned for impact and compact setting, emphasizing verticality and a continuous, dark typographic color.
