A condensed, upright sans with tall proportions and compact apertures, built from rounded-rectangle bowls and straight-sided stems. Stroke endings are blunt and lightly irregular, with a consistently worn, ink-pressed texture that creates uneven edges and small nicks along verticals and curves. Curves are squarish and constrained, giving O/C/G-like forms a boxed, superelliptic feel, while counters stay relatively small and vertical stress is emphasized by the narrow set and strong stems. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with slight per-glyph variation in edge roughness that reads as deliberate distress rather than random noise.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, book covers, and packaging where the distressed texture can read clearly. It can also work for logotypes and short editorial callouts that want a typewriter/printed patina, but it is less ideal for long passages at small sizes due to the tight counters and rough edges.
The font conveys a utilitarian, analog tone—suggestive of stamped or typewritten lettering with an aged, slightly gritty finish. Its condensed stance and weathered texture add tension and drama, lending a noir or archival vibe that feels both industrial and editorial.
Likely intended to provide a condensed, high-impact sans with a deliberately worn print character—combining rigid, rounded-rect geometry with a tactile, imperfect surface to evoke mechanical lettering and aged reproduction.
Digits follow the same condensed, roughened construction, with simple, legible silhouettes that suit headlines and labels. The distressed treatment is prominent enough that it becomes a key stylistic feature, so clean reproduction will depend on adequate size and contrast to keep counters from filling in.
