A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtly modulated joins, and many terminals finish with softened corners rather than sharp cuts. The outlines show intentional roughness—slight waviness, nicks, and uneven ink spread—creating a printed or stamped texture while keeping overall letterforms steady and legible. Spacing is compact and rhythmic, with a tall, narrow stance and sturdy vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, titles, packaging fronts, labels, and bold signage where the condensed width helps fit more characters without losing presence. The distressed texture can add character to branding and editorial display work, but it may feel busy at very small sizes or in long paragraphs.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian tone—part signage, part rubber-stamp—mixing retro familiarity with a gritty, handmade edge. Its condensed heft reads as confident and attention-seeking, with an analog texture that feels human and slightly weathered rather than clinical.
Likely designed to combine a compact, space-saving display sans with a tactile, inked surface—evoking stamped lettering, screen print, or worn painted type while retaining a cohesive, rounded-rectangular construction.
Round letters (like O/Q) lean toward squarish bowls with generous corner radii, reinforcing the superelliptical feel across the set. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, suggesting a deliberate distressed treatment rather than incidental artifacts.
