A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle structure and compact counters. Strokes stay broadly uniform, but the outlines show intentional irregularity—soft wobble, rough edges, and slightly uneven terminals that mimic ink spread or worn printing. Curves are squarish and superelliptical, giving letters a sturdy, stamped silhouette, while joins and interior corners often pinch subtly, reinforcing a gritty, compressed rhythm. Numerals and capitals appear especially stout and poster-ready, with a consistent, dense texture across lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, bold headlines, product packaging, labels, and display signage where the textured edges can be appreciated. It also works well for branding that wants a rugged or industrial flavor, especially in all-caps or compact wordmarks.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking stamped labels, old packaging, and shop signage. Its roughened perimeter adds an analog, imperfect character that feels handmade or mechanically printed rather than digitally pristine.
The design appears intended to combine a condensed, blocky display skeleton with an intentionally imperfect print texture, delivering a strong, space-efficient headline voice that feels stamped and tactile rather than clean and neutral.
The distressed contouring is consistent enough to read as a deliberate finish rather than damage, helping large text feel tactile and loud. In smaller sizes, the dense weight and tight interior spaces can make details merge, so it benefits from generous size or spacing when clarity is critical.
