A condensed, all-purpose sans with tall proportions and subtly irregular construction. Strokes show a lightly distressed texture with occasional nicks, pinholes, and roughened edges that mimic worn ink or uneven printing. Curves are slightly squarish and open, terminals tend toward blunt cuts, and counters stay clear for readability. Spacing is fairly tight and rhythmic, while individual letters exhibit small width and shape quirks that keep the texture feeling hand-made rather than mechanically uniform.
Works well for display settings where a bit of grit and tactility are desirable—posters, apparel graphics, packaging, café menus, book covers, and brand accents. It can also serve as a secondary headline or short-text face in layouts that want an analog, printed feel while staying legible at moderate sizes.
The overall tone feels vintage and utilitarian, like lettering pulled from an old poster, stamped packaging, or a well-used label maker. The distress adds warmth and grit without becoming chaotic, giving the font an approachable, slightly playful ruggedness.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a convincingly imperfect print texture—balancing clarity with a worn, hand-produced aesthetic for themed branding and display typography.
The texture appears consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with enough restraint to hold up in words and sentences. Figures are simple and sturdy, matching the condensed proportions and maintaining the same worn-ink character.
