A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and softly squared (superelliptic) curves. The letterforms read as built from rounded-rectangle geometry: tight counters, flat-ish terminals, and subtly radiused corners that keep curves from feeling fully circular. Widths vary by character but stay consistently narrow overall, producing a dense vertical rhythm with strong, dark texture. Edges show slight organic irregularity—like ink spread or rough printing—without breaking overall consistency.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, bold headlines, signage, packaging, and label-style graphics where a compact, vertical presence is useful. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available to preserve clarity.
The font conveys a practical, no-nonsense tone with a hint of retro signage and workwear labeling. Its compact proportions and dark color give it an assertive, industrial voice, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than sharp or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to stay readable while maintaining a strong, industrial texture. The slight roughness suggests a printed or stamped aesthetic aimed at adding grit and personality to straightforward sans forms.
In text, the tight counters and dense spacing create a strong typographic “block,” especially in lowercase and numerals. The slightly roughened outlines add character at display sizes; at very small sizes the interior apertures may feel cramped due to the heavy fill and narrow proportions.
