A condensed, heavy sans with squarish, rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with small apertures and tight interior counters that keep the texture dark and compact. Several glyphs show deliberate roughened edges and small cut-ins that read like wear or ink-breaks, adding a slightly distressed finish while preserving clear, upright structure. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, with simple terminals and compact bowls; numerals match the same dense, vertical rhythm.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: posters, event titles, bold packaging labels, and high-contrast signage. It also works well for sports or team-style branding and short, punchy taglines where the condensed width helps fit more characters per line while keeping a strong silhouette.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, combining a straightforward industrial build with a worn, printed texture. It feels loud and practical—more like stamped signage or vintage packaging than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width, using rounded-rectangle geometry for a sturdy, contemporary base and adding subtle distressing to evoke tactile, printed grit. It prioritizes bold presence and a confident rhythm over delicate detail.
The condensed proportions create strong vertical emphasis and efficient line length for headlines. The distressed details appear selectively across glyphs, giving the face character without fully collapsing legibility at display sizes.
