A tall, tightly set sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction in its curves. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with softened corners and slightly irregular edges that suggest ink spread or a printed, worn texture. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, and the overall silhouette reads as condensed and sturdy, with a steady vertical rhythm and minimal internal detailing.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, label designs, packaging fronts, and signage where strong vertical emphasis is desirable. It can also work for branding wordmarks that want a condensed, stamped look, but its heavy texture is most effective at larger sizes rather than extended body copy.
The face conveys a tough, workmanlike tone—part industrial signage, part vintage print ephemera. Its slightly distressed, inky finish adds grit and immediacy, making the texture feel more tactile than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint while keeping forms simple and robust. The rounded-rectangle curves and slightly worn stroke edges suggest a deliberate nod to utilitarian printing and vintage display typography.
Round letters (like O/C) appear more like squarish ovals with rounded corners, reinforcing a superelliptical, condensed geometry. The numerals share the same compressed, blocky build and remain highly assertive at display sizes.
