Print Etne 8 is a bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, short x-height font visually similar to 'Futura' and 'Futura Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Mix Modern' by Mix Fonts, 'Futura Now' by Monotype, and 'Merendina' by Resistenza (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, hand-drawn print style with chunky strokes and visibly rough, ragged contours. Letterforms are largely upright with simple, rounded skeletons, but each glyph shows irregular edges, uneven terminals, and occasional notches that mimic dry-brush or distressed ink. Counters are generally open and generous, while curves (C, O, G) stay broadly circular and the overall rhythm feels intentionally uneven. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, giving the set a lively, handmade texture rather than strict geometric consistency.
Best suited for short, high-impact text where texture is an asset: posters, display headlines, packaging, labels, stickers, and merchandise graphics. It also works well for playful branding, event promos, and casual signage where a handmade, distressed feel helps set the tone.
The font conveys an informal, crafty energy—playful and slightly scruffy, like signage painted quickly with a worn brush. Its distressed edges add a rugged, DIY character that reads friendly rather than formal, with a hint of vintage poster grit.
Likely designed to emulate bold hand-painted or brush-lettered print, combining simple, readable silhouettes with intentionally distressed edges to add character and energy at display sizes.
Uppercase shapes tend to feel wide and bold with soft corners, while lowercase shows simplified constructions (single-storey a and g) that reinforce an approachable, drawn-by-hand tone. Numerals follow the same roughened treatment, with sturdy silhouettes that prioritize impact over refinement.
