A heavy, compact sans with chunky, rounded forms and a noticeably irregular edge texture that reads like ink spread or dry-brush stamping. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with softened corners and slightly inconsistent contours that give each letter a worn, printed feel. Counters are tight and simple, keeping the silhouette dominant; round letters like O and Q are more oval than circular, and verticals generally feel straight but subtly wavy. The overall rhythm is condensed and dense, with small internal spaces and a strong, blocky presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headline typography, packaging labels, merchandise graphics, and bold brand marks where texture is a feature. It can work in brief callouts or subheads, but longer paragraphs will feel heavy and visually noisy unless set large with generous spacing.
The font conveys a bold, handmade attitude—part poster stamp, part distressed print—mixing toughness with a casual, slightly whimsical warmth. Its roughened edges suggest authenticity and tactility, like lettering pulled from packaging, screen print, or a weathered sign.
The design appears intended to deliver strong display impact while adding an intentionally imperfect, analog texture. By combining condensed proportions with softened geometry and distressed outlines, it aims to evoke stamped or screen-printed lettering that feels tactile and energetic.
Lowercase forms maintain the same weight and texture as capitals, creating a unified, muscular color in text. Numerals are similarly blocky and compact, designed for impact rather than delicacy; at smaller sizes, the distressed edges and tight counters may reduce clarity compared to smoother display faces.
