A compact, slanted sans with thick, low-contrast strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves and terminals are softened and slightly irregular, with occasional blunt cutoffs that suggest a brush or marker origin. Counters are relatively tight and shapes lean toward superelliptical bowls, giving letters a sturdy, condensed rhythm. The numerals and capitals maintain consistent weight and a slightly bouncy baseline feel, with visible ink-like wobble that reads as intentional texture rather than geometric precision.
Best suited to display roles where dense, bold letterforms are needed—posters, headlines, packaging panels, and punchy brand marks. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or labels, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the textured stroke edges and rounded construction remain clear.
The overall tone is lively and informal, balancing friendliness from the rounded forms with assertiveness from the heavy strokes and compressed width. Its slight roughness adds a human, handcrafted character that can feel vintage and energetic without becoming decorative or overly whimsical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, forward-leaning sans voice with a handcrafted edge—combining rounded superelliptical structure with subtle irregularities to feel more tactile and expressive than a purely geometric condensed italic.
In text, the slant and tight spacing create strong forward motion and a dense color on the page. The mix of softened corners and occasional sharper joins contributes to a rugged, printed or sign-painted impression, especially in larger sizes.
