Print Gyrug 8 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'AZ New Rough' by Artist of Design, 'Bureau Grot' by Font Bureau, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'PG Gothique' by Paulo Goode (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact display face with tall, narrow proportions and softly rounded terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear, with subtle wobble and slight edge irregularities that suggest hand-drawn lettering rather than rigid geometry. Counters are small and sometimes asymmetrical, and the overall rhythm is lively, with minor width differences and idiosyncratic shaping across characters that keeps the texture animated in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event headlines, product packaging, and logo wordmarks where bold personality is an asset. It can also work for playful title treatments in children’s or entertainment contexts, while longer paragraphs may require generous tracking and leading to keep the texture from feeling too dense.
The font reads as upbeat and characterful, leaning toward a nostalgic, cartoon-like tone. Its bouncy silhouettes and softened corners give it an approachable, humorous voice that feels informal and attention-seeking without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact headline voice with a hand-rendered feel—combining narrow proportions with soft, inked shapes to create a distinctive, playful display texture.
In the sample text, the dense weight and narrow set create a dark, continuous typographic color, so spacing and line length will strongly influence legibility. The numerals follow the same chunky, slightly irregular construction, reinforcing the hand-made personality across the set.
