A heavy, sans serif with rounded, blunted terminals and subtly irregular outlines that suggest ink spread or a printed texture. Strokes are generally uniform with gentle modulation at curves, giving counters a slightly organic, not-perfectly-geometric feel. The letterforms keep a simple, workmanlike structure, but edges look softly chipped and uneven, creating a lively rhythm across words. Spacing reads open and steady, supporting clear word shapes despite the textured perimeter.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium blocks where the textured edges can be appreciated—posters, packaging, labels, menus, and branding that wants an analog, crafted voice. It can also work for signage and social graphics where a sturdy, friendly display sans is needed.
The overall tone is approachable and handmade, with a rustic, analog character that feels like stamped signage or brush-inked display type. Its softness and irregularity add warmth and personality, while the robust weight keeps it confident and direct.
The design appears intended to provide a straightforward sans structure with an intentionally imperfect, inked finish—combining dependable legibility with a handcrafted, print-like texture for expressive display use.
In text, the texture becomes more apparent at larger sizes, where the rough perimeter and rounded corners contribute most to the personality. Numerals match the same sturdy construction and softened edges, maintaining consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
