A tall, tightly set sans with a condensed footprint and rounded-rectangle construction in the bowls and counters. Strokes stay largely even with only slight modulation, while terminals often feel cut or lightly blunted, creating a subtly roughened, printed texture rather than a perfectly geometric finish. Curves are narrow and vertical stress is emphasized, with compact apertures and small counters that keep the texture dense. Overall spacing reads economical and column-friendly, and the figures follow the same narrow, upright rhythm as the letters.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and title treatments where a condensed width helps fit more characters per line without losing impact. It also works for posters, packaging, and brand marks that want a compact, slightly gritty modern-retro tone. For longer text, it’s better as a secondary display face (pull quotes, captions, short blocks) rather than dense body copy.
The font projects a lean, punchy personality with a touch of offbeat charm, like inked display lettering refined into a consistent system. It feels editorial and vintage-leaning without becoming decorative, giving headlines a distinctive voice while staying direct and readable. The slight irregularity and rounded geometry add warmth and a hint of handmade attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving display sans with rounded-rectangle forms and a lightly distressed print feel, balancing geometric structure with humanized edges. Its consistent narrow rhythm suggests an emphasis on strong vertical color and efficient line lengths in editorial and branding contexts.
The uppercase shows strong verticality and compact curves; the lowercase keeps a similarly narrow rhythm with simple, functional forms. The sample text suggests best results when given a bit of size and breathing room, where the rounded counters and crisp verticals can read clearly without crowding.
