A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, but the edges look inked and uneven, creating a stamped/printed texture. Terminals tend to be blunt with slight wobble, and counters are compact, giving letters a dense, punchy silhouette. Overall spacing feels tight and rhythmic, with small, humanized inconsistencies that keep the texture lively in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and identity work where a tactile, analog texture is desirable. It can also work for short blocks of display text, pull quotes, and labels where strong color and compact width help fit more characters without losing impact.
The tone is handmade and slightly gritty—more zine and poster than corporate. Its condensed heft reads confident and punchy, while the rough, inked perimeter adds warmth and personality. The overall feel is playful, a bit rebellious, and distinctly informal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient display voice with an intentionally imperfect, printed texture. By combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle forms and rough edges, it aims to feel contemporary yet handmade—optimized for expressive titles and branding rather than neutral running text.
In the sample text, the irregular edges become a consistent grain that reads like screen print or a worn rubber stamp. The condensed proportions amplify vertical emphasis, while rounded corners prevent the color from feeling harsh. Numerals follow the same compact, hand-inked logic, keeping mixed copy visually cohesive.
