A condensed, heavy sans with blunt terminals and visibly irregular, inked edges. Strokes maintain a mostly even thickness with minimal contrast, while corners and curves are softened into rounded-rectangle forms that keep counters compact. The outlines show consistent texture and slight waviness, creating a printed or stamped rhythm rather than a mechanically perfect finish. Spacing appears relatively tight and the narrow proportions give lines a dense, punchy color.
This font is well suited to posters, headlines, packaging, and merchandise where a bold, handcrafted look is desired. It can also work for short editorial headings or pull quotes, especially when you want a dense, stamped feel and don’t need pristine outlines at small sizes.
The overall tone is informal and tactile, with a gritty handmade character that feels more screen-printed than digital. It reads energetic and slightly mischievous, balancing friendliness from the rounded shapes with a rugged, worn-in texture.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed display voice with a deliberately imperfect, inked texture—combining rounded, compact forms with rough edges to evoke analog printing and add personality to headlines.
The texture is uniform enough to feel intentional across the alphabet, which helps maintain cohesion in longer text samples. Round letters keep small apertures and counters, reinforcing the dark, compact typographic color at display sizes.
