A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners that keep the forms blunt rather than sharp. Strokes are consistently thick with only mild modulation, and counters tend to be small, contributing to a dense color in text. Many terminals read as squared-off or slightly uneven, with subtle edge roughness that suggests an inked or stamped impression. The lowercase stays straightforward and sturdy, while figures are similarly chunky and tightly fit, maintaining a unified, compact rhythm across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, bold headlines, product packaging, and logo or wordmark work where compact width is helpful. It can also work well for labels and short callouts that need a stamped, tactile feel. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels retro and workmanlike, like lettering pulled from packaging, stamps, or utilitarian signage. The slight roughness adds grit and warmth, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly and approachable rather than severe. Its condensed heft creates an assertive, attention-grabbing voice that can also come across as playful in short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining rounded-rectilinear shapes with an intentionally imperfect, printed texture. It aims for a strong, utilitarian presence that still feels inviting and approachable for branding and display typography.
In running text the tight spacing and heavy weight create strong visual momentum, but the dark color can build quickly, making it best when given breathing room. The most successful impressions come from large sizes where the rounded corners and subtly irregular edges are clearly visible.
