A compact, heavy sans with tightly packed proportions and a tall lowercase that keeps counters small and punchy. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squarish bowls and rounded corners that read as sturdy rather than soft. Strokes stay broadly consistent, while the edges show deliberate roughness and slight irregularities, like ink spread or worn printing, which adds texture without breaking the overall rhythm. Apertures are relatively closed and terminals are blunt, helping the font hold together as a dense, vertical texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where density and impact are desirable, such as posters, signage, packaging, and merchandise graphics. The textured edges can add character to brand marks or labels, especially in industrial, vintage, or rugged themes, while the condensed proportions help fit long words into tight spaces.
The tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking stamped labels, shipping marks, and gritty display printing. Its compressed stance and distressed edges give it an assertive, slightly retro-industrial voice that feels bold, direct, and a bit rough around the edges.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal width, combining rounded-rectangle construction with a worn-print texture for a robust, utilitarian display voice.
Spacing appears tuned for compact setting, with narrow letterforms creating a strong columnar feel in all-caps. The distress is consistent across glyphs, giving an intentionally imperfect finish that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes and more textural at smaller sizes.
