A compact, heavy sans with rounded counters and a softly squared silhouette. Strokes stay thick and fairly consistent, while the outlines show deliberate irregularity—edges look slightly chewed or ink-bleed textured, creating a stamped or printed-from-rough-block feel. Curves are broad and simple, joins are sturdy, and apertures tend to be tight, producing dense letterforms with strong page color. Overall spacing reads practical and even, with small, natural-looking variations that enhance the handmade rhythm.
Best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging fronts, and signage where the textured edges can read clearly and add character. It can work for short phrases or branding taglines, but the dense interiors and rough outline suggest avoiding long passages or very small sizes where the texture may fill in.
The texture and chunky proportions give the face a rugged, handmade personality with a playful edge. It evokes craft printing, screen-printed posters, and casual vintage signage—friendly rather than formal, but bold and attention-seeking.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect, inked texture—prioritizing character and immediacy over pristine precision. The consistent heft and simple geometry suggest an intention to mimic handmade or stamped lettering while staying legible and straightforward in bold display settings.
Uppercase forms feel blocky and stable, while the lowercase keeps the same weight and texture for consistent tone in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the heavy, compact build, making them work well in short, emphatic callouts where a worn-in look is desired.
