A heavy, sans serif with blunt terminals and subtly uneven outlines that suggest ink spread or a stamped texture. Curves are broadly rounded and slightly squarish in places, while straight strokes show gentle wobble and small variations in edge crispness. Counters are compact but open enough to stay readable, and joins are simple and sturdy, creating a chunky, high-impact silhouette. Overall spacing feels pragmatic rather than geometric, with a lively, handmade rhythm across letters and numerals.
Works best for short, high-visibility text such as posters, headlines, labels, and brand marks where a handmade texture can add personality. It can also support brief supporting copy in casual applications, but the rough edges and dense weight will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The face communicates an informal, tactile character—more like printed packaging, screenprint, or marker lettering than a precise digital sans. Its roughened edges and sturdy shapes create a warm, approachable tone with a hint of grit, suitable for playful or down-to-earth messaging.
Likely designed to mimic a bold sans that has been printed, stamped, or drawn, preserving small inconsistencies to create an authentic, tactile feel. The intention appears to prioritize impact and approachability over strict geometric precision.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, weighty construction, with single-storey forms where expected and numerals that read clearly at display sizes. The texture and slight irregularity become a defining feature, so it feels most at home when that imperfect, analog look is desired rather than ultra-clean typography.
