A condensed, rounded sans with monoline strokes and softly blunted terminals. The outlines have a deliberately uneven, hand-inked edge that creates slight wobble in verticals and gentle irregularity in curves, while keeping a consistent overall rhythm. Counters are compact and mostly rounded-rectangular, and many letters rely on tall, narrow proportions with simplified joins and minimal modulation. The overall texture is dark and punchy, with tight internal space and a compact, poster-like silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed width and dark color can maximize impact—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and brand marks with a casual or retro voice. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes, especially when you want a handmade texture without moving into fully script or brush lettering.
The font feels informal and characterful, balancing a clean sans structure with a hand-stamped roughness. Its narrow, tall stance and slightly imperfect edges give it a lively, vintage-leaning tone that reads as friendly and a bit offbeat rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving display sans with a playful, hand-printed texture. It aims for high visual presence and distinctive personality while retaining simple, readable letterforms for quick recognition in branding and headline contexts.
Capitals appear built from straightforward strokes and rounded corners, lending a sturdy, signlike presence. Lowercase forms keep the same condensed DNA and maintain clear differentiation, though the roughened contour adds intentional texture that becomes more noticeable as size decreases. Numerals follow the same tall, compact proportions for consistent color in mixed text.
