A very heavy sans with chunky strokes and rounded terminals, featuring visibly irregular edges that create a printed/inked texture. Forms are largely built on simple geometric masses, but with deliberate wobble and uneven contours that keep counters slightly varied from glyph to glyph. The rhythm is compact and blocky, with broad curves on round letters and sturdy, straight-sided verticals; joins are blunt and corners are softened rather than sharply squared. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same dense color and roughened outline, producing a consistent, gritty silhouette across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and branding where texture is a feature rather than a distraction. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or merchandise graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rough outline is clearly visible.
The texture and bouncy, imperfect outlines give the face a handmade, approachable tone—more craft and character than precision. It reads as casual and energetic, with a lightly rugged, screen-printed feel that suggests DIY posters, stamps, or vintage-inspired packaging.
The design appears intended to combine simple, sturdy sans shapes with an intentionally distressed, hand-printed surface, delivering a bold voice that feels tactile and informal rather than clinical.
In longer text the dark overall color is strong and attention-grabbing, while the rough edges add visual noise that becomes part of the style. The irregularity is most noticeable on vertical strokes and along horizontal bars, where the edge looks slightly chipped or brush-worn.
