A condensed sans with heavy, compact strokes and softly squared curves that make round letters feel like rounded rectangles. The outlines show intentional roughness and slight waviness, producing an inked or stamped texture rather than crisp vector edges. Terminals are mostly blunt, counters are small but open, and joins stay sturdy and simplified. Overall spacing is tight and the rhythm is punchy, with minor per-glyph irregularities that add a hand-rendered feel while keeping consistent proportions.
Best suited for short display settings where strong presence is needed—posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and bold wordmarks. It can also work for punchy subheads or captions when you want a rugged, printed texture, but its dense forms are most effective at larger sizes.
The font reads bold and utilitarian, with a tactile, handmade character that feels printed, stamped, or brush-inked. Its condensed build and rugged edges give it an energetic, slightly gritty tone that suits attention-grabbing, informal communication.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint while adding a deliberately imperfect, analog texture. The rounded-rectangle construction keeps forms friendly and consistent, while the rough edges evoke hand printing or stamp-like production.
In the samples, punctuation and numerals follow the same chunky, textured construction, helping the design feel cohesive across display copy. The condensed width and dense black shapes create strong color on the page, favoring impact over delicacy.
