A tall, condensed sans with squarish, superellipse-like bowls and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes are mostly monolinear but show subtle modulation and slightly uneven edges, giving a worked, inked texture rather than a slick geometric finish. Corners tend to be softened or notched, and many terminals end bluntly, reinforcing a blocky rhythm. Counters are compact and rectangular, with tight apertures and a generally narrow set that creates a dense, upright text color.
Best suited to short-to-medium headlines, posters, packaging, and cover typography where a compact footprint and strong presence are useful. It can also work for logos and labels that want an industrial or vintage-printed feel, though dense paragraphs may look heavy due to the narrow set and tight counters.
The overall tone feels industrial and slightly gritty, like type printed with worn metal or rubber forms. Its compressed proportions and rugged detailing add a hint of noir and utilitarian authority, balancing vintage character with a disciplined, engineered structure.
The design appears intended to blend condensed, engineered letterforms with a subtly distressed print texture, delivering a bold, utilitarian voice that still feels tactile and human. It prioritizes vertical punch and compactness while maintaining a consistent, boxy construction across the character set.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with occasional small nicks and irregularities that read as intentional distress rather than random noise. In longer lines it forms a strong vertical cadence, while the tight apertures and condensed width emphasize impact over airiness.
