A condensed, hand-drawn sans with subtly uneven stroke widths and roughened edges that mimic dry ink or worn printing. Letterforms are simple and upright, with narrow proportions, slightly inconsistent curves, and occasional wobble in vertical stems. Terminals tend to be blunt and softly tapered, and counters stay fairly open despite the compressed width, producing a readable but intentionally imperfect texture across lines of text.
Works well for headlines, posters, and short editorial blocks where a handmade, timeworn texture is desirable. It’s a strong fit for packaging, album art, event flyers, and branding that wants an analog/DIY edge while remaining legible in brief to medium-length copy.
The overall tone feels analog and lived-in, like stamped packaging or photocopied ephemera. Its irregularities add a casual, human presence that reads as gritty and slightly whimsical rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to combine the efficiency of a condensed grotesque skeleton with the character of imperfect print—adding grit, variation, and tactile noise without sacrificing straightforward letter shapes.
The distortion is consistent enough to hold together in paragraphs, but the distressed perimeter and jittery rhythm become more prominent at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same narrow, ink-worn construction, helping maintain a cohesive voice in labels and headings.
