A heavy, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with subtly irregular, inked edges that create a worn, printed look rather than a clean vector finish. Counters are compact and often squarish, apertures are tight, and terminals are blunt, giving the alphabet a dense, blocky rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with a single-storey “a” and “g,” short extenders, and compact spacing that reinforces the compressed feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, packaging callouts, stickers, and bold signage where its condensed width and heavy color can do the work. It can also serve for subheads or captions when size and line spacing are generous enough to keep the tight counters clear.
The overall tone feels bold and utilitarian, like lettering made for impact on posters, labels, or signage. The roughened edges add a handmade, stamped character that reads as vintage and slightly mischievous rather than polished or corporate.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact measure while preserving friendly rounded geometry. The slightly distressed edge treatment suggests an aim toward analog print or stamped-material authenticity rather than a pristine contemporary finish.
At text sizes the tight counters and textured edges increase visual noise, while at display sizes the rugged surface detail becomes a defining feature. The numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-block logic and carry strong weight, making them prominent in mixed settings.
