A compact, heavy sans with slightly tapered strokes and noticeable modulation that creates a carved, inked feel. Curves are full and rounded, counters are relatively small, and terminals often narrow or flare subtly, producing a soft wedge-like finish. Proportions are tight and vertically assertive, with a bouncy texture in running text and clear, high-impact silhouettes in display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a compact but expressive voice is needed. It can work for logos, event graphics, social media graphics, and signage that benefits from heavy weight and a distinctive texture. In longer passages it will read best at generous sizes and spacing, where the small counters and dense color don’t overwhelm.
This font gives off a confident, punchy tone with a slightly playful edge. Its heavy presence and compact rhythm feel attention-grabbing and poster-like, while the subtle flare in certain strokes adds a lively, handcrafted energy without tipping into novelty.
The design appears intended for strong visibility and personality in short-to-medium text settings, combining dense, sturdy letterforms with just enough stroke modulation to avoid a purely geometric or neutral feel. It seems built to hold together at large sizes while maintaining a distinctive, rhythmic texture in sentences.
The numerals follow the same compact, heavy style and read with strong silhouettes; the zero shows a slashed form for quick differentiation. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed, while lowercase maintains a rounded, friendly rhythm with a noticeable, dark typographic color.
