A compact, heavy sans with rounded silhouettes and slightly irregular, inked edges. Strokes maintain an even thickness with soft corners and subtly uneven terminals that suggest brush or stamp transfer rather than geometric precision. Counters are generally open and sturdy, and the overall rhythm is lively, with small variations in stroke contour and width that keep repeated letters from feeling mechanically uniform. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, condensed presence, producing strong color and punchy headings.
Best suited to display typography where its thick, rounded shapes and lightly distressed edges can be appreciated—posters, packaging, labels, event graphics, and bold social or editorial headlines. It also works well for short brand phrases and logo wordmarks that benefit from a friendly, handcrafted feel.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a handmade, slightly roughened texture that reads as casual and human. It leans toward a retro craft/print-shop feeling—confident and bold in presence, but not aggressive—making text feel friendly and informal.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, condensed sans voice with an intentionally imperfect, printed texture—combining strong legibility with a human, handmade character for attention-grabbing display use.
The texture is most noticeable along verticals and rounded bowls, where edges look gently distressed and imperfect, as if printed on absorbent paper. The forms stay clean enough for short reading at display sizes, while the irregularity adds character in headlines and logos.
