A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft corners. Strokes stay largely even, while edges show intentional irregularity that reads like ink spread or a lightly distressed stamp. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented, giving letters a tall, columnar silhouette. The rhythm is slightly uneven from glyph to glyph, with subtle wobble in stems and curves that keeps the texture lively in text.
Best suited for short, punchy text in display contexts—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks where a condensed footprint and bold texture help messages stand out. It can work for brief subheads or captions when set with generous tracking and leading to prevent the dense forms from clumping.
The overall tone is handmade and characterful—more zine, poster, and craft than corporate. Its tall, compressed forms feel energetic and slightly mischievous, with a vintage-stamped flavor that adds personality without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed display voice with a hand-inked, imperfect finish, combining rounded-rectangle geometry with subtle distress to create a distinctive, friendly-yet-edgy texture.
Lowercase forms maintain strong presence with tight apertures and sturdy joins, while punctuation and numerals share the same softened, inked edge quality. In paragraphs the texture builds quickly due to the narrow set and dense black shapes, making it most comfortable at larger sizes where letterforms have room to breathe.
