A condensed, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes stay even and sturdy, with blunt terminals and minimal modulation, producing a solid, stamped look. Curves and counters skew toward squarish ovals, and many joins feel slightly irregular, as if inked or printed from a worn plate. Lowercase forms are compact with a tall x-height, while uppercase proportions remain narrow and upright, keeping a tight, vertical rhythm across text.
Well suited to compact headlines, posters, and signage where a narrow footprint and bold, simplified shapes help conserve space. It also fits packaging and label-style typography, especially for brands that want a sturdy, slightly vintage printed feel. In longer passages it can work at moderate sizes when a textured, utilitarian tone is desired.
The overall tone feels practical and workmanlike, with a subtle handmade roughness that adds character without becoming decorative. Its squarish roundness reads friendly and approachable, while the condensed stance keeps it efficient and slightly retro, reminiscent of labeling, packaging, and signage.
Likely designed to deliver an efficient condensed sans with softened superellipse geometry and a lightly distressed, inked texture. The aim appears to balance friendliness (rounded corners and squarish counters) with practicality (even stroke weight and straightforward structures) for impactful display and labeling contexts.
The numerals and capitals carry a consistent condensed footprint, helping lines set tightly. In running text the rhythm is lively due to small shape quirks and slightly uneven edges, so it reads best when that textured, printed personality is part of the intended aesthetic.
