A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are largely monolinear with modest contrast, but the outlines are intentionally irregular, producing a worn, ink-pressed texture with small voids and nicks in the counters and stems. Curves tend to square off into superelliptical bowls, and terminals are blunt rather than tapered. Spacing reads tight and utilitarian, with a compact footprint and sturdy vertical emphasis that keeps words dark and continuous.
Best suited to display settings where impact and texture are desirable: posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, labels, and apparel graphics. It can work for short supporting copy in larger sizes, but the distressed detailing favors titles, pull quotes, and signage over long-form reading.
The overall tone feels rugged and workmanlike, evoking stamped labels, screen-printed merch, and distressed signage. Its texture adds grit and immediacy, giving text a lively, imperfect character that reads more analog than digital.
The design appears intended to merge a compact, geometric sans framework with a deliberately weathered print effect. It prioritizes bold presence and an analog, stamped aesthetic while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly legible at display sizes.
Uppercase forms stay simple and geometric, while lowercase shows a friendly, slightly quirky rhythm from the rounded joins and uneven edges. Numerals follow the same sturdy, condensed logic, maintaining a consistent color in mixed text. The distressing is consistent enough to feel intentional, but it reduces clarity at very small sizes or in dense paragraphs.
