A heavy, condensed sans with compact proportions and a tall lowercase structure. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, producing a blunt, posterlike color with minimal modulation. Curves and counters lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, while many terminals show subtly irregular, inked edges that create a worn, stamped impression. Spacing is tight and the rhythm is punchy, with simplified inner shapes that stay open enough for display use.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and bold branding where a compact width and strong mass help text hold the page. It can also work for signage or packaging that benefits from a tough, stamped aesthetic, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the texture reads clearly.
The overall tone feels rugged and workmanlike, with a vintage print-shop character. Its slightly distressed edges add a gritty, handmade energy that reads as bold, utilitarian, and a bit nostalgic—well suited to louder, attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint while adding a printed, slightly weathered texture. Its rounded-rectangle construction and thick strokes suggest a focus on sturdy legibility for display, paired with a deliberately rough finish to evoke analog production.
Capitals are tall and assertive, and the numerals carry the same blocky, compressed stance for consistent impact. The texture is subtle but persistent across the set, giving large text a tactile look; at smaller sizes the roughness may become more prominent than the fine detail of counters.
