A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and visibly roughened outlines. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with softened corners and occasional flat terminals that feel cut or pressed rather than drawn with a smooth pen. Curves (C, O, S) hold a squarish, superellipse-like tension, while counters are compact and slightly irregular. Overall spacing is steady, but the contour wobble and edge texture introduce a dry, printed rhythm that reads like worn ink or stamp impression.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where its dense weight and textured edges can carry personality. It works well for packaging, labels, and signage that benefits from a stamped or printed feel, and it can add a rugged editorial accent in pull quotes or section headers.
The texture and compressed proportions give the face a practical, workmanlike tone with a gritty, tactile presence. It suggests signage, labeling, and packaging that favors character over polish—confident, direct, and slightly rugged.
The design appears intended to merge a compact, space-efficient silhouette with a tactile, imperfect finish, evoking inked type, rubber stamps, or worn display printing while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable at larger sizes.
Round characters maintain fairly consistent width and interior counters, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) appear sturdily constructed with minimal finesse, reinforcing the blocky build. Numerals match the same softened-rectangle logic and distressed edge quality, helping mixed alphanumerics feel cohesive in display settings.
