A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes read largely monolinear with minimal contrast, and terminals are blunt or softly rounded rather than sharply cut. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, giving letters a compressed, poster-like rhythm. The outlines show intentional roughness—slight wobble, uneven edges, and ink-like texture—that adds a distressed, printed feel while keeping the basic geometry consistent.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where height and compression help fit more characters into narrow spaces. The distressed texture and condensed rhythm make it a strong choice for posters, packaging, labels, and editorial display where a vintage-industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is utilitarian and slightly worn, like ink pressed through a stencil or pulled from an old label maker. Its narrow, towering shapes feel assertive and urgent, while the subtle distress lends a handmade, analog character rather than a purely digital precision.
The design appears aimed at combining compact, space-saving letterforms with a tactile, ink-worn finish. It balances a controlled, rounded-rect geometry with deliberate imperfections to evoke print artifacts and add personality at display sizes.
Round letters (such as O/C) lean toward superelliptical bowls with flattened sides, reinforcing a squared-off, engineered look. The sample text shows strong vertical emphasis and tight internal spacing, which can create dense color in longer lines; it reads best when given breathing room in tracking and leading.
