This typeface is a tightly condensed sans with heavy, low-contrast strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves are formed with softened corners rather than true circles, giving counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. The outlines show deliberate roughness—subtle edge wobble, nicks, and uneven ink density—creating a printed or stamped texture while keeping letterforms clear. Caps are tall and compact, and lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure with simple terminals and minimal modulation.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where a condensed footprint is useful. It also works well on packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a rugged, stamped aesthetic and high-impact silhouettes.
The overall tone feels industrial and vintage, like lettering pulled from packaging, labels, or shop signage. Its distressed texture adds grit and personality, while the consistent condensed rhythm keeps it purposeful and direct.
The design appears intended to combine a compact, space-saving condensed build with a tactile, imperfect print finish. It aims to evoke utilitarian display typography—strong shapes, simple construction, and a worn-in texture for character.
Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic and retain strong legibility at display sizes. The texture reads as intentional “inked” wear; at smaller sizes it may visually fill in, so it favors headings and short lines over dense body copy.
