A condensed, all-caps-friendly sans with softly squared, superelliptic curves and a distinctly hand-rendered finish. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with blunt terminals and slightly wobbly outlines that create a dry-brush/inked texture along edges. Counters are compact and somewhat irregular, and curves (O, C, G) read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles. Spacing is relatively tight and the overall rhythm is energetic, with small inconsistencies that feel intentional and handcrafted.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, cover art, packaging callouts, and branding marks where texture and personality are desirable. It can also work for pull quotes or section titles, but the rough edges and tight counters make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a gritty, DIY confidence—playful and a bit mischievous, like hand-painted signage or a zine headline. Its rough texture and compressed forms give it urgency and attitude, balancing friendliness from the rounded shapes with a rugged, analog edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handmade sans voice with condensed proportions and superelliptic roundness, capturing the feel of inked or painted lettering while staying structurally simple and highly legible at display sizes.
Uppercase forms tend to feel taller and more display-driven, while the lowercase keeps the same condensed, inked construction. Numerals follow the same hand-cut look, with simple, sturdy shapes that favor impact over refinement.
