Print Fonek 11 is a very bold, very narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Sansmatica' by Fontop, and 'Burger Honren' by IRF Lab Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy display face with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes are largely straight and vertical, with flattened terminals and slightly uneven sidebearings that create a hand-cut, printed-by-hand feel. Edges are intentionally rough and chipped, producing a textured silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase. The rhythm is tight and forceful, with simplified forms and sturdy bowls that hold up well at larger sizes.
Best suited to display applications where the distressed texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, album covers, labels, and bold packaging. It works well for short phrases and impactful titles, especially when a worn, handmade print aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone is gritty and nostalgic, evoking worn signage, DIY printmaking, and aged posters. Its rough texture adds urgency and attitude, reading as bold, unpolished, and a bit rebellious while still staying legible in short bursts.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect hand-printed lettering—bold, condensed forms combined with deliberate wear to suggest age, ink spread, or rough carving. It prioritizes character and texture over smooth precision, aiming for strong visual impact in display settings.
Texture is a major part of the design, so the letterforms will appear darker and more compact as size decreases. The condensed proportions and strong vertical emphasis make spacing and line breaks feel punchy, with noticeable ink-trap-like nicks and erosion along curves and corners.
