A compact, heavy sans with tall, compressed proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes stay broadly uniform, with softly squared corners and subtly pinched joins that keep counters tight and verticals dominant. Edges show deliberate irregularity—slight waviness and worn spots—creating an inked, stamped texture rather than a pristine geometric finish. Spacing is sturdy and rhythmically consistent, with short crossbars and condensed bowls that maintain a strong, upright silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display sizes where its dense silhouettes and textured edges can read clearly—headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand marks. It also works well for signage-inspired graphics or short bursts of text where a vintage, stamped presence is desired.
The overall tone feels bold and workmanlike, echoing vintage signage and utilitarian printing. Its distressed, inky surface adds a tactile, handmade grit that reads as nostalgic and slightly rebellious rather than refined.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in tight horizontal space, combining condensed, rounded-rectangle letterforms with a deliberately worn finish to evoke printed ephemera and bold signage. The consistent stroke weight and sturdy spacing prioritize legibility and punch over delicacy.
Uppercase forms are particularly monolithic and stable, while lowercase retains the same compressed logic with compact counters and minimal modulation. Numerals match the same chunky, stamped character, supporting cohesive headline and display setting.
