A tall, condensed roman with mostly monolinear strokes and subtly uneven, inked-in contours. Terminals are rounded and slightly blunted, with small nicks and interior roughness that suggest worn printing or dry marker edges. Curves stay narrow and vertical, counters are tight, and spacing feels compact, giving lines a strong vertical rhythm. Details like the narrow bowls, straight-sided stems, and simplified joins keep the texture controlled rather than chaotic.
Best suited for short-to-medium settings where a condensed, textured voice is desirable: posters, packaging fronts, product labels, menu headers, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for simple wordmarks or badges when you want a handmade/printed patina, and performs particularly well at display sizes where the rough detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone reads like practical lettering pulled from a well-used label maker, typewriter, or stamped packaging—clean enough to read, but with an intentionally imperfect, lived-in finish. It feels retro and workmanlike, adding a subtle grit that brings warmth and authenticity without becoming overly decorative.
Likely designed to combine a space-saving condensed structure with an intentionally weathered print texture. The goal appears to be dependable legibility with a tactile, analog character—evoking stamped, typed, or screen-printed lettering while staying disciplined in its proportions.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and streamlined, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, minimal construction that reinforces the condensed rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions and carry the same worn-edge treatment, helping mixed text maintain a consistent color on the page.
