A condensed, slanted sans with heavy strokes and visibly irregular, inked edges. Letterforms are built from simple rounded and straight shapes, but the outlines wobble subtly, giving each glyph a hand-printed, brush-and-ink texture. Curves are slightly pinched in places and terminals often look blunted or imperfect, producing an uneven rhythm that feels intentional rather than accidental. Counters stay fairly open for a condensed design, and the numerals match the same sturdy, slightly roughened construction.
Best suited to display roles where texture and personality are desirable: posters, bold headlines, packaging, event graphics, and casual branding. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height to keep the dense strokes from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is lively and informal, with a vintage poster and DIY print-shop feel. Its rough texture and forward lean add momentum and attitude, reading as friendly and punchy rather than refined or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-rendered, ink-stamped look while keeping the underlying forms straightforward and legible. It aims to deliver strong impact and a tactile print feel in a compact, space-efficient silhouette.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps the font hold together in short lines of copy. At smaller sizes the rough perimeter can visually thicken and darken, while at larger sizes the grain and irregularities become a defining feature.
