A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and noticeably softened corners. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with small, irregular edge wobble that reads like ink spread or a lightly distressed print. Counters are tight and often squarish, keeping the texture dense in running text, while verticals dominate the rhythm and curves feel slightly flattened. The overall drawing favors sturdy, simple silhouettes over precision, giving the face a bold, poster-like presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where its chunky texture can be appreciated. It can work for logo wordmarks or display lockups that benefit from a rugged, handmade feel, rather than long-form reading.
The font feels handmade and energetic, with a friendly roughness that recalls stamp lettering and vintage packaging. Its compact, chunky forms give it a confident, slightly mischievous tone—more casual and characterful than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, superelliptical display sans with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture—combining sturdy geometry with a crafted, analog finish for attention-grabbing typography.
In text, the dense weight and tight counters create strong dark color and high impact, especially at larger sizes. The slight distress varies from glyph to glyph, adding personality but also making small sizes feel more textured and busy.
