A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and a compact, vertical rhythm. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are mostly squared but softened by subtly rounded corners. Many forms show deliberate irregularities—slight wobbles, uneven curves, and cut-in notches—giving the letters a hand-cut, stamped quality. Counters are small and sometimes angular or slot-like (notably in characters such as B, 8, and 9), and apertures tend to be tight, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
This font is best suited to display settings where density and impact are assets—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short logo wordmarks or event branding where a rugged, hand-made feel is desirable, while longer text will appear quite dark and compressed.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a quirky, retro-industrial edge. Its slightly imperfect geometry reads as human and tactile rather than strictly mechanical, lending a playful toughness suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in narrow space, combining a condensed silhouette with intentionally roughened, hand-cut details. It prioritizes graphic character and memorability over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, stamped or cutout-inspired display voice.
The alphabet mixes squared construction with occasional exaggerated curves and notched joins, creating a lively, uneven cadence across lines. Numerals are similarly chunky and compact, matching the display-forward personality of the letters.
