A condensed, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle counters and softly squared outer curves. Strokes stay largely uniform, giving the letters a solid, poster-like color, while subtle waviness and rough, inked edges introduce an irregular, hand-stamped feel. Curves are built from superellipse-like geometry rather than true circles, and terminals tend to be blunt and slightly uneven. The lowercase is compact with simple, sturdy forms; numerals are similarly heavy and straightforward, matching the same rounded-corner construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short display copy where its condensed heft and textured edges can carry personality. It also fits packaging, labels, and bold signage that benefits from a sturdy, hand-printed look. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable with generous size and spacing due to its dense, compact forms.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, like lettering pulled from packaging, signage, or stamped labels. Its slightly distressed finish adds a casual, handmade grit that reads more tactile than polished, leaning retro without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to combine condensed display utility with a tactile, imperfect print aesthetic. The rounded-rectangle construction keeps shapes consistent and legible, while the deliberately uneven edges add character and a crafted, analog finish.
In text, the narrow proportions and dense stroke mass create strong vertical rhythm and high impact at larger sizes. The rough edge texture becomes more noticeable as size increases, contributing to a printed or screen-inked character; at small sizes it may read as a deliberate ruggedness rather than crisp precision.
