A compact, monospaced sans with chunky strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are built from simple, sturdy shapes with minimal stroke modulation, but the edges show intentional irregularity—slight wobble, ink-like swell, and occasional blots that give the counters and joins a lived-in texture. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and the lowercase bowls), while straight strokes remain slightly uneven, creating a consistent stamped/printed rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well for display use where texture and personality are an asset: posters, packaging, product labels, album art, and editorial callouts. It can also serve short paragraphs when a monospaced, typewriter-like cadence is desired, especially at moderate sizes where the inked edges remain legible.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and hand-printed at once—friendly, imperfect, and characterful. Its soft corners and inky texture read as informal and approachable, with a nostalgic, zine-like vibe rather than a slick digital finish.
The design appears aimed at combining monospaced structure with an intentionally imperfect, inked finish—suggesting stamped, typed, or hand-pressed lettering while keeping a consistent grid and steady proportions for practical setting.
Spacing is uniform and cell-like, reinforcing a mechanical cadence even as the outlines stay organic. Numerals match the letters in weight and texture, and punctuation in the sample text shows the same rounded, inked treatment, helping paragraphs hold together with a cohesive, tactile color.
