A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and blunt terminals. Strokes are broadly even, with softly squared corners and slightly pinched joins that keep counters open despite the dense weight. The outlines show deliberate irregularity—subtle waviness and uneven edges—giving the letters a stamped or printed texture rather than a perfectly geometric finish. Uppercase forms are tall and tight, while lowercase is sturdy and simple, with single-storey shapes where visible and short, firm extenders; numerals follow the same compact, blocky rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where its dense weight and textured outlines can be appreciated—posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short, high-impact copy or branding elements where a rugged, handmade flavor is desired, but the strong texture may become dominant in long-form text.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike with a handcrafted edge. It reads as casual and slightly nostalgic—evoking screenprint, rubber stamp, or vintage packaging—while staying friendly thanks to the rounded corners and open counters.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while projecting a crafted, analog feel. Its rounded-rectangle skeleton provides a clear, sturdy structure, and the intentionally imperfect edges add character and print-like authenticity.
Spacing and sidebearings feel tight, reinforcing a condensed headline rhythm. The mix of rounded corners with subtly rough outline behavior creates strong texture in paragraphs, making the face feel energetic and tactile at larger sizes.
