A condensed, heavy sans with rounded, superellipse-like counters and softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, but the outlines are intentionally irregular, showing rough edges and slight waviness that mimic ink spread or a stamped impression. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact bowls and short terminals that stay blunt rather than tapering. Overall spacing reads moderately open for such dense forms, helping the dark texture remain legible at display sizes.
Best used for short to medium display settings where texture and personality are desired—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and event or entertainment graphics. It can work for brief bursts of copy in larger sizes, but the rough edges and dense weight are most effective when given room to breathe rather than in long passages.
The font feels handmade and tactile, balancing bold impact with a casual, quirky tone. Its roughened silhouettes give it a raw, screenprinted energy, while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive. The result is attention-grabbing and slightly mischievous, suited to expressive, non-corporate messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver bold readability with a handcrafted, imperfect surface, combining condensed proportions with rounded, blocky shapes. It aims to evoke printmaking or stamped lettering while keeping forms simple and approachable for fast recognition in display typography.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent narrow proportion and a deliberately imperfect baseline and stroke edge, creating a lively, human cadence in text. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction and maintain the same textured weight, reinforcing a cohesive, stamped look across the set.
