A condensed, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes keep a steady thickness with minimal modulation, while the outlines show subtle roughness and uneven edges that suggest ink spread or stamped impression. Terminals are mostly blunt and straight-cut, counters are compact, and overall spacing feels tight and efficient. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, and the numerals follow the same narrow, compact proportions for a consistent set.
It works well for short headlines, packaging, labels, and signage where a compact footprint and strong presence are useful. The narrow proportions make it effective for tight spaces or stacked layouts, and the textured finish adds personality to branding, editorial display, and retro-inspired graphics.
The font conveys a utilitarian, industrial tone with a slightly gritty, analog texture. Its narrow rhythm and stamped irregularities give it a vintage, mechanical feel—practical rather than polished—evoking labels, inventory marks, and workshop signage.
The design appears intended to combine space-saving condensed proportions with soft, squared-off geometry, then add a controlled rough print texture for an analog, stamped look. The result prioritizes clear shapes and consistent rhythm while supplying a tactile, vintage voice for display use.
The superelliptical rounding is especially noticeable in bowls and curved joins, keeping forms legible despite the condensed width. The texture is consistent across letters and figures, providing character without turning into heavy distress.
