A heavy, compact sans with rounded, slightly squarish bowls and broadly proportioned counters. Strokes are thick and largely monoline in impression, but the outlines show a subtly rough, inked edge that gives the shapes a stamped or hand-cut feel. Terminals tend to be blunt and softened rather than sharply squared, and curves are drawn with sturdy, simple geometry. Spacing is moderately tight and the overall rhythm is dense, producing a strong, poster-like color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display settings where the bold texture can carry the message—posters, packaging, labels, and identity work. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or social graphics, especially where a handmade, screen-print feel is desired.
The texture and chunky forms create a friendly, tactile tone that feels handmade and a bit mischievous. It reads as casual and energetic rather than polished, with a retro craft or screen-printed vibe that adds personality at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, handcrafted edge—combining sturdy rounded construction with intentionally imperfect contours to avoid a sterile, geometric feel. It emphasizes personality and presence, favoring expressive display readability over refined text neutrality.
Uppercase forms stay straightforward and blocky, while the lowercase keeps simple, rounded constructions with sturdy joins and minimal detailing. Numerals are equally weighty and geometric, matching the alphabet’s compact, inked character and maintaining consistent visual mass in lines of text.
