A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and subtly uneven, inked edges. Strokes are thick and compact with softened corners, producing a superelliptical feel in bowls and counters while keeping straight-sided verticals. The texture reads like distressed printing: edges wobble slightly and interiors stay clean, preserving legibility despite the roughness. Letterfit is tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with sturdy, upright forms that hold their shape well in headline sizes.
Best suited to posters, packaging, labels, and bold headlines where texture and presence are desirable. It works well for signage-style messaging, event graphics, and logotype wordmarks that benefit from a rugged, printed character. For long passages at small sizes, the distressed edges may feel busy, but in short bursts it remains readable and impactful.
The font conveys an industrial, hands-on tone—part rubber stamp, part worn signage. Its softened geometry keeps it friendly, while the distressed finish adds grit and a sense of age or analog production. The overall impression is bold and attention-grabbing without feeling sleek or corporate.
The design appears intended to combine condensed, sturdy geometry with a deliberately imperfect print texture, creating a bold display face that feels both utilitarian and characterful. The rounded-rectangle forms suggest a controlled underlying structure, while the worn edges introduce warmth and a tactile, analog finish.
Uppercase forms are particularly strong and poster-ready, while lowercase retains the same condensed weight and texture for cohesive mixed-case setting. Numerals match the blocky, rounded construction and carry the same worn edge treatment, helping create consistent typographic color across alphanumeric text.
