A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with corners softened into squarish curves that keep counters tight and openings narrow. The outlines show intentional irregularity—subtle waviness and rough edges—giving the letterforms a stamped or inked feel rather than a perfectly geometric finish. Uppercase forms are strong and vertical, while lowercase remains similarly narrow with simplified, sturdy shapes; numerals match the same condensed, blocky rhythm.
Best suited to display contexts where density and punch are desirable: posters, cover lines, brand marks, packaging, labels, and bold editorial heads. It can also work for short UI or navigational labels when used sparingly and with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a gritty, workmanlike character. Its condensed massing and roughened silhouette read as assertive and slightly vintage, evoking labeling, stenciled packaging, and practical display typography.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint while adding a tactile, imperfect finish. The rounded-rectangle skeleton keeps forms cohesive and modern, while the distressed contouring introduces a more handmade, industrial edge.
Tight counters and compact apertures concentrate the black space, which boosts impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The texture created by uneven edges becomes a defining feature in larger settings, where it reads as purposeful distress rather than noise.
