A heavy, compact sans with rounded counters and simplified letterforms, drawn with visibly uneven edges and slightly irregular curves. Strokes appear press-like or inked, with subtle wobble and small bite marks along the contours that create a textured silhouette. The uppercase is broad and blocky, while the lowercase stays sturdy and open, with single-storey forms where applicable and short, thick terminals. Figures are similarly weighty and straightforward, keeping the same roughened outline and strong fill.
Best suited to posters, packaging, signage, and bold editorial headings where texture is a feature, not a flaw. It also works well for labels, stickers, and event promotions that want a punchy, handcrafted voice; for longer text, larger sizes and a bit of extra spacing help maintain clarity.
The texture and imperfect outlines give the face a handmade, approachable tone, like ink stamped on paper or a screen-printed poster. It reads bold and friendly rather than precise, adding a casual, slightly retro energy to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to combine a simple, rounded sans structure with an intentionally distressed, inked finish to evoke printmaking or stamping. It prioritizes impact and personality, delivering strong shapes with a tactile, analog surface.
The irregular perimeter and dense color can visually close up at small sizes, especially in tighter joins and smaller counters, so it benefits from generous sizing and comfortable tracking. The overall rhythm is lively, with small per-glyph variations that emphasize an analog feel.
