A heavy, upright sans with subtly uneven, inked edges and softened corners that give each letter a stamped, hand-printed feel. Strokes are generally thick and steady, with slight waviness and organic tapering at joins that suggests absorbent paper or imperfect impression. Counters are open and readable, while round forms (O, C, G) appear slightly squarish and lumpy rather than geometrically smooth. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with a consistent vertical stance and a gently irregular rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, labels, packaging, and storefront-style signage where the textured edges can be appreciated. It can also work for short brand statements or pull quotes, especially in craft, food, beverage, or heritage-inspired contexts, while extended small-size body text may feel heavy due to the dense strokes and rough texture.
The texture and unevenness convey a tactile, analog character—more workshop and letterpress than clinical or corporate. It reads as friendly and robust, with a hint of nostalgia and craft, suitable for designs that want to feel human-made rather than mechanically perfect.
The design appears intended to mimic a printed, hand-inked impression while preserving clear, simple letterforms. Its goal is to add warmth and materiality—an intentionally imperfect surface—without sacrificing the straightforward structure needed for confident, high-impact display typography.
Uppercase shapes are blocky and simplified, while lowercase forms keep a straightforward, single-storey look where visible, reinforcing an informal, approachable tone. Numerals are bold and rounded with the same rough perimeter, keeping strong presence at display sizes. Spacing in text appears comfortably open, supporting legibility despite the intentionally distressed edges.
