A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tight internal spacing. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: straight verticals, squared counters, and softened corners that keep the shapes from feeling sharp. Strokes appear slightly irregular at edges and joins, giving a subtly distressed, stamped look while maintaining consistent structure. Counters are small and boxy (notably in B, D, O, P, R), with minimal curvature and a steady vertical rhythm; terminals are generally flat with occasional notches and pinched joins that read like ink traps or cut-ins.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and signage where bold texture is an asset. It can also work for compact logo lockups or title treatments, particularly when a rugged, industrial voice is desired over a pristine finish.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a crafted, print-shop grit. It feels direct and attention-grabbing—more like signage, stencils, or packaging marks than a polished corporate sans—while still reading as controlled and intentionally designed.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight in a tight footprint, using rounded-rect forms and controlled roughness to evoke stamped or worn printing. Its proportions and simplified construction prioritize impact and repeatable rhythm, making it effective for display typography with an intentionally gritty edge.
The condensed width and large black areas create strong texture in lines of text, especially in the sample paragraphs where the dark color builds quickly. Numerals echo the same boxy, rounded-rect construction, with compact apertures that reinforce the sturdy, mechanical feel.
