A compact, heavy sans with blunt terminals and subtly rounded corners. Strokes appear slightly irregular, with a dry, stamped/inked texture that creates soft edge chatter and minor width wobble from glyph to glyph. Counters are relatively small and simple, apertures tend to be tight, and curves are built from sturdy, near-monoline shapes with just enough contrast to keep forms from looking fully uniform. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with short extenders and sturdy bowls that hold their shape well at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and packaging where the textured weight can be appreciated, and for branding or labels that want a stamped/printed feel. It can also work for short blocks of text in larger sizes, but the dense spacing and small counters suggest avoiding long, small-size reading.
The texture and condensed heft give the face a gritty, workmanlike tone—evoking rubber stamps, letterpress impressions, and utilitarian signage. It feels informal and human-made rather than polished, with a confident, no-nonsense presence suited to bold statements and tactile branding.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, condensed sans voice with an intentionally imperfect, inked surface—capturing the character of analog printing while staying highly legible. The goal appears to be strong impact with a handmade authenticity rather than geometric precision.
Round characters like O and 0 read as vertically compact ovals, while diagonals (V, W, X) keep a strong, angular stance. The numerals match the letters in weight and texture, maintaining a consistent, stamped look across mixed alphanumeric settings.
