A condensed, heavy sans with blunt terminals and subtly rounded corners that give many forms a squarish, superelliptical feel. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, but the outlines are intentionally irregular, creating a distressed, inked texture and a slightly wavering baseline rhythm. Counters are compact and often squared-off, with tight apertures that keep the overall color dense. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with minimal modulation and blocky joins that emphasize a utilitarian, poster-like presence.
Well-suited to posters, bold headlines, and signage where a rugged, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits packaging and merchandise graphics that aim for a retro-industrial or handcrafted look, and it can add character to short labels, badges, and display typography.
The font reads as tough and workmanlike, with a gritty, stamped/letterpress attitude. Its roughened contours add a handmade, analog authenticity that feels vintage and slightly rebellious rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, emphatic display sans that mimics worn ink or stamped lettering while keeping shapes simple and readable. The rounded-rectangle construction and deliberate distressing work together to create a strong silhouette with an analog, tactile finish.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, so long passages take on a dark, mottled color; it performs best when that density is a feature rather than a drawback. The condensed proportions help headlines stay compact while still feeling loud and impactful.
