A condensed, monoline sans with compact proportions and a tightly packed rhythm. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with squared terminals that often flare slightly into wedge-like ends, creating a stamped or ink-pressed edge. Curves are narrow and somewhat boxy in their construction, and many letters show subtle contour wobble and roughness that reads as deliberate texture rather than geometric perfection. Counters are small and vertical, and the overall silhouette stays tall and economical across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display work where density and texture are an advantage—posters, headlines, packaging, badges, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for brand marks or short labels that benefit from a tough, printed feel, especially in high-contrast black-on-white applications.
The texture and blunt terminals give the face a gritty, mechanical tone reminiscent of worn printing, typewriter output, or rubber-stamp lettering. It feels utilitarian and assertive, with a vintage edge that can lean mysterious or noir when set large and tight.
The design appears intended to combine condensed economy with a deliberately worn, analog surface—capturing the feel of ink spread, impression, or distressed printing while keeping a simple, no-nonsense skeleton for strong readability in short bursts.
In text, the condensed width creates strong vertical color and a compact word shape; the roughened outlines add character but can also increase visual noise at small sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, heavy construction, maintaining consistency for headings and labels.
