A compact, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with blunt terminals and minimal modulation, giving counters a tight, punched-in feel. Proportions favor tall, narrow letters, while widths vary slightly by glyph, creating a subtly irregular rhythm. The shapes read cleanly at display sizes, with a faint printed/inked roughness visible along some edges.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a dense, high-impact voice is needed in limited horizontal space. It can also work for short brand marks and labels, especially in applications that benefit from a stamped or printed texture rather than a pristine geometric finish.
The overall tone feels industrial and retro, like stamped signage or mid-century packaging. Its sturdy, compressed forms project directness and practicality, while the rounded corners and slight roughness add an approachable, handmade edge.
Likely designed to provide a strong, space-saving display sans built from superelliptical/rounded-rect forms, emphasizing solidity and clear silhouette. The slightly uneven edges suggest an intention to evoke print or stencil-like character while keeping overall letterforms simple and legible.
Uppercase forms are tall and monolinear with compact apertures; lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike skeleton with simple bowls and minimal ornament. Numerals match the condensed, blunt style for consistent set color in mixed text.
