A condensed sans with chunky, rectangular construction and rounded-rectangle counters, giving many letters a superelliptical, pressed look. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with subtly irregular outlines and small notches that read like ink spread or worn stamp edges rather than clean geometry. Curves are squarish and compact, terminals are mostly blunt, and the overall rhythm is tight with a strong vertical emphasis. Figures and capitals carry the same blocky, slightly distressed texture, maintaining consistent weight and presence across the set.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and branding that needs a compact, high-impact voice. The stamped/inked texture also fits packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics where a rugged, tactile impression is desirable.
The font conveys a tough, workmanlike tone—more factory label and screenprint than pristine corporate signage. Its controlled condensation feels efficient and functional, while the roughened edges add grit and a tactile, analog character.
Likely intended to combine condensed, space-saving letterforms with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture. The design balances a simple sans structure with a worn, industrial finish to deliver strong presence and a handmade edge.
The texture is noticeable in continuous text, creating a lightly mottled color that feels intentional and display-oriented. The condensed proportions and squared curves keep word shapes compact and punchy, making the type feel assertive at larger sizes.
