A condensed, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle counters and mostly straight-sided verticals. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with slight irregularity along edges that creates a worn, inked texture. Corners tend to be blunt rather than sharp, and bowls/counters read as superellipse-like cutouts, giving a square-rounded skeleton. The rhythm is tight with compact apertures and short extenders, and several glyphs show intentional asymmetry and small notches that enhance the rough, crafted feel.
Best suited to display settings where a strong, condensed voice is needed—posters, headlines, labels, and bold branding marks. It can work for short bursts of text in themed applications (e.g., signage or titles), but the tight apertures and rugged edges favor larger sizes and generous spacing for clarity.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, like lettering stamped, cut, or printed under imperfect conditions. Its distressed edge and condensed stance add urgency and grit, suggesting DIY signage, game/arcade graphics, or rugged branding rather than polished corporate typography.
The design appears intended to combine a compact, space-saving structure with a tactile, imperfect finish, evoking stamped or hand-cut lettering. The rounded-rectangle geometry keeps the forms cohesive while the distressed edges add character and attitude.
Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with simplified construction, while lowercase stays similarly compact, maintaining a consistent, boxy texture in running text. Numerals match the same squared, cut-out logic, keeping a uniform color when set in blocks. The texture becomes more noticeable at larger sizes, where the edge wear reads as a deliberate stylistic feature.
