A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and compact counters. Strokes stay broadly consistent but show intentional irregularities: edges look slightly ragged, shoulders and terminals vary subtly, and interior shapes feel pinched in places, giving a worn, printed texture. The vertical rhythm is strong and columnar, with tight apertures and sturdy stems; curves read as squarish rounds rather than perfect circles, reinforcing a blocky, poster-like silhouette.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, editorial headlines, event or music flyers, packaging callouts, and brand marks where texture is desirable. It performs especially well when set large, where the distressed contours and squared-round forms can be appreciated without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is bold and scrappy, combining a retro display attitude with a handmade, distressed feel. It reads energetic and informal—more like stamped ink or rough screen print than polished digital lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a tight width while adding a deliberately imperfect, analog texture. Its superelliptical shapes and rounded terminals provide friendliness, while the worn edges suggest printing artifacts to create character and immediacy.
In text, the condensed width and heavy color create strong impact but can make longer passages feel dense; the uneven edges become part of the personality at larger sizes. Numerals share the same compact, chunky proportions, and the uppercase/lowercase pairing maintains a consistent, rugged texture across lines.
