A heavy, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with compact counters and a slightly irregular outline that reads like inked or cut shapes rather than perfectly machined vectors. Curves tend toward squarish bowls and superellipse-like ovals, while terminals look subtly blunted, creating a dense, upright texture. Spacing and widths vary a bit across glyphs, reinforcing an intentionally imperfect, display-first rhythm.
Works best for posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where high impact and a playful, retro texture are desired. It’s well suited to labels, merchandise, and social graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded forms and irregular edges stay clear.
The overall tone is bold and friendly, with a vintage poster energy. Its slightly rough, handmade edges add warmth and informality, giving the face a lively, characterful presence rather than a strictly neutral voice.
The design appears intended as a compact, high-impact display sans that blends rounded-rectangle geometry with a lightly distressed, handmade finish. The goal is to deliver strong presence in tight spaces while maintaining a friendly, approachable personality.
Round letters (such as O and Q) keep a squared, cushiony silhouette, and the numerals share the same compact, blocky build for consistent color. In longer text, the condensed proportions create strong vertical emphasis and a tight, impactful line, best suited to short bursts where the texture can read as intentional style.
