A condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel. Strokes are heavy and compact, with subtly uneven edges that read like inked or stamped letterforms rather than perfectly machined outlines. Curves and terminals stay blunt and rounded, while joins are simplified and sturdy, creating a tight rhythm and a slightly bouncy vertical texture across words and lines.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its compact width and dark color can build impact—posters, cover titles, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It also works well for punchy subheads, labels, and event graphics where a friendly retro voice is desired.
The overall tone is informal and spirited, with a retro, poster-like friendliness. The slight roughness and irregularity add warmth and approachability, suggesting hand-applied printing and giving headlines a lively, human presence without becoming messy.
Likely designed to provide a compact, high-impact display sans that feels human and tactile. The rounded-rectangle structure and slightly rough finish aim to balance bold readability with a handmade, vintage printing personality.
Spacing appears tuned for display: forms are narrow with strong internal shapes, and the texture stays consistently dark across mixed-case text. The numerals share the same compact, rounded geometry and retain the stamped/inked character, helping them blend smoothly in titles and short callouts.
