A slanted, heavy sans with compact, rounded counters and a visibly hand-rendered edge. Strokes show slight waviness and irregular terminals, creating a dry-brush, inked texture rather than crisp geometry. Curves are generously rounded (notably in O/C/G), while straight strokes lean forward with a consistent rightward slant; joins and corners feel softened and slightly blunted. Overall spacing is fairly tight and the texture is lively, producing a dark, emphatic rhythm across words.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, display headlines, packaging callouts, and energetic brand marks where texture and personality are an asset. It can also work for event promotions and cover art, especially when set at larger sizes where the brushy edges and rounded forms can be appreciated without sacrificing clarity.
The tone is bold and spirited, with a casual, vintage-adjacent personality that reads more human than mechanical. Its roughened edges and forward slant suggest motion and immediacy, giving it a poster-like confidence that feels friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a rounded sans structure with the warmth and grit of hand-painted lettering. By keeping familiar, readable skeletons while introducing textured outlines and softened terminals, it aims to deliver bold display impact with an informal, handmade character.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified, while lowercase shapes retain a brushy, single-stroke feel in places (notably the i/j dots and the flowing s). Numerals are strong and headline-ready, matching the same textured stroke quality and slightly irregular contours seen in the letters.
