A tall, compact sans with tightly set, condensed proportions and blunt terminals. Strokes are generally uniform and heavy, with subtly softened corners that give round counters and a squarish, superelliptic feel. Many joins and inner corners show small notches or pinch points, creating an ink-trap-like texture and a slightly rough, stamped impression. Curves stay controlled and narrow, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact, keeping shapes legible while emphasizing height and density.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold titling where a condensed footprint is helpful. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage applications that benefit from a sturdy, high-impact sans with a slightly rugged finish.
The font reads as practical and assertive, with an industrial, workshop tone. Its condensed stance and mildly distressed details suggest a utilitarian, poster-and-label sensibility rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, space-saving display typography with a controlled, rounded-rectangle geometry. The small corner notches and uneven edges look purposeful, likely added to enhance print robustness and to evoke a stamped or industrial texture.
Uppercase forms are especially tall with compact bowls (notably in B, P, R) and narrow rounds (C, O, Q), while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay tight and steep. The figures match the same tall, compact construction, making the set feel consistent for numeric-heavy uses.
