A heavy, condensed sans with squared-off, superelliptical curves and minimal stroke modulation. Counters are tight and apertures tend to be narrow, creating a dense, ink-rich texture. Terminals are mostly blunt and straight, while round letters (like O/C/G) read as rounded-rectangle forms. The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with occasional subtle irregularities in joins and edges that add a slightly rough, screen-printed feel rather than a purely geometric finish.
Best used for display typography where space is tight but impact is required—posters, headlines, bold branding lockups, packaging, and wayfinding/signage. It also works well for short labels and merch graphics where a rugged, condensed voice is desirable.
The tone is assertive and attention-grabbing, suited to bold statements and high-impact messaging. Its compressed proportions and blocky curvature evoke vintage workwear graphics, industrial labeling, and classic poster typography, balancing utilitarian toughness with a lightly distressed edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact width, using rounded-rectangle geometry and sturdy construction to stay legible while feeling industrial and vintage. The slight roughness suggests an aim toward print-like authenticity and a less sterile, more tactile presence.
The numerals follow the same compact, block-first logic, with simplified shapes that prioritize presence over delicate differentiation at small sizes. The ampersand and punctuation shown in the sample text match the sturdy, no-nonsense construction, helping maintain an even, dense typographic color across lines.
