A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and even with minimal modulation, and most terminals finish bluntly, giving forms a sturdy, blocky silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and openings are small, while bowls and shoulders lean toward superelliptical rounding rather than pure circles. Subtle irregularities in edge crispness and stem alignment add a gently handmade texture without breaking overall consistency.
Well suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where strong presence and texture are desirable, such as posters, packaging, café or craft-product branding, labels, and editorial display. It can also work for UI or signage accents when a friendly, tactile tone is preferred over a strictly neutral sans.
The font reads warm and approachable, with a vintage signpainted energy and a slightly rugged, hand-pressed feel. Its dense shapes and softened corners make it feel friendly rather than severe, while still carrying plenty of impact.
The design appears intended to combine a utilitarian, condensed sans structure with rounded-rectangle forms and a lightly imperfect finish, creating a bold display voice that feels both geometric and handmade.
Letterforms show a mix of straight-sided geometry and rounded corners that creates a distinctive “soft industrial” rhythm. The numerals and capitals share the same compact, sturdy proportions, keeping color and spacing visually even in longer lines of text.
