Print Emtu 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Armetica' by Hsan Fonts, 'Colosso' by More Etc, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, and 'Coben' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display face with hand-drawn, print-style letterforms and visibly irregular contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with softened corners, occasional nicks, and slightly uneven terminals that create a stamped/inked texture. Proportions feel condensed overall, with rounded bowls and simplified geometry; counters are tight but remain open enough for short headlines. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the drawn, imperfect rhythm rather than a rigid mechanical structure.
Best for attention-grabbing display work such as posters, event graphics, bold headlines, packaging labels, and logo wordmarks where a handmade, imperfect finish is desirable. It also works well for short promotional copy and punchy slogans, especially when printed large or used with generous tracking.
The font reads as bold and mischievous, with a casual, handmade energy. Its worn edges and chunky shapes suggest a tactile, DIY sensibility—part poster paint, part rubber-stamp—giving text a friendly but slightly unruly attitude.
Likely intended to provide a strong, condensed display voice with an intentionally rough, hand-printed finish. The design prioritizes impact and personality over uniform precision, aiming to evoke DIY signage, stamped lettering, and bold brush/marker fills in a controlled, repeatable typeface.
Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the same roughened edge treatment as the letters. In longer sample text the dense color and condensed set create strong impact, but the textured outlines and tight counters make it better suited to display sizes than small, continuous reading.
