A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tight interior counters. Strokes are thick with noticeably irregular, inked edges that give each glyph a worn, screen-printed texture while keeping an overall square, upright skeleton. Corners are softly rounded rather than sharp, and the counters (notably in O, P, R, a, e) are compact and often vertically oriented, creating dense letterforms with strong silhouette recognition. Spacing reads sturdy and compact, and the numerals follow the same chunky, industrial rhythm.
Best suited for display applications where impact and texture matter: posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and bold signage. It also works well for short taglines and titles in branding systems that want a rugged, stamped or screen-printed feel, especially when set large with slightly increased letterspacing.
The font conveys an industrial, utilitarian tone with a distressed, tactile finish—more gritty and physical than clean or polished. Its bold silhouettes feel assertive and poster-like, evoking stamped markings, crate labels, or rugged signage with a slightly retro, workshop character.
The design appears intended to combine a rounded-rectangular, industrial sans foundation with deliberate edge roughness to simulate ink spread or worn printing. The goal is a high-impact display face that reads quickly by silhouette while projecting a tactile, manufactured aesthetic.
In text, the roughened edges add visual noise that increases texture and presence but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in long paragraphs. The narrow apertures and tight counters reinforce a dark color on the page, so careful tracking and generous leading help maintain legibility in multi-line settings.
