A chunky, all-caps-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction and visibly irregular, inked edges. Strokes are heavy and largely monoline, with softened corners and occasional nicks that create a stamped or distressed silhouette. Counters tend to be compact and rounded, apertures are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm feels slightly uneven in a deliberate, hand-cut way. Numerals and lowercase follow the same blunt geometry, with sturdy verticals and subtly wavy outlines that keep the texture consistent across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and brand marks that want a tactile, printed feel. It can also work for labels, merch graphics, and editorial display where a slightly distressed, handcrafted voice is desirable. For longer passages it will be most effective at generous sizes where the rough texture reads as intentional detail.
The tone is bold and informal, with a handcrafted toughness that reads as vintage print and DIY signage. Its roughened edges add energy and attitude, keeping text from feeling sterile while staying clear enough to read. Overall it suggests friendly grit—more poster and sticker than corporate interface.
The design appears intended to combine simple rounded sans geometry with a rough, inked finish to evoke handmade or letterpress-like output. It prioritizes personality and presence over pristine uniformity, aiming for a stamped, tactile look that still retains clear letter identities.
In longer text samples the texture becomes a prominent feature, so spacing and line breaks will affect perceived darkness. The design’s irregular contours create a lively word shape, especially in all-caps, where the rounded block forms feel emphatic and banner-like.
