Print Ibbuk 1 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Coastal' and 'Neumatic Gothic Round' by Arkitype, 'Explorer' by Fenotype, 'Frontage Condensed' by Juri Zaech, and 'Chigo' and 'Headpen' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly set display face with thick, even strokes and rounded terminals throughout. Letterforms are tall and condensed, with narrow counters and softened corners that create a rubbery, stamped silhouette. The construction stays simple and monoline, but includes occasional quirky details—like slightly uneven joins and idiosyncratic diagonals—that keep it from feeling purely geometric. Overall rhythm is dense and vertical, producing strong, dark typographic color at headline sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where strong presence and compact width are advantages, such as posters, packaging, branding wordmarks, and playful editorial headlines. It can also work for labels, stickers, and social graphics that need a friendly, high-contrast block of text. For long passages or small UI text, the dense counters and narrow apertures may reduce clarity.
The font conveys a lighthearted, informal tone with a vintage sign-painting or comic-adjacent flavor. Its chunky rounded shapes feel approachable and humorous, lending energy without becoming chaotic. The condensed proportions add urgency and impact, making it feel bold and attention-seeking rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, space-saving display voice with a hand-drawn, print-like character. By combining rounded terminals, heavy monoline strokes, and condensed proportions, it aims to deliver immediate impact while maintaining a casual, approachable personality.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and narrow, while lowercase maintains a similarly compact footprint with small apertures and sturdy bowls. Numerals follow the same blunt, rounded logic and read as poster-friendly, prioritizing silhouette over fine detail.
