A heavy, compact sans with softly squared, superellipse-like bowls and blunt terminals. Strokes stay largely monolinear, but the contours are intentionally uneven, producing a printed/inked texture with small nicks and wobble along stems and curves. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be narrow, giving the face a dense color on the page. The lowercase keeps straightforward, single-storey constructions where applicable, while the figures share the same sturdy, slightly irregular rhythm.
This font is well suited for posters, punchy headlines, packaging, and signage where a bold, tactile voice is desirable. It can also work for short display copy in editorial or entertainment contexts, especially when aiming for a vintage print or DIY aesthetic.
The overall tone feels handmade and rough-edged, like stamped lettering or a quick brush-and-ink sign. Its friendly, slightly mischievous irregularity reads informal and expressive rather than precise or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy sans framework with a deliberately imperfect, hand-rendered finish—prioritizing personality and texture while keeping letterforms simple and legible at display sizes.
The texture remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping long lines of text maintain a cohesive, “inked” surface. Because the black areas build quickly, it performs best when given a bit of breathing room in size and spacing.
