A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes stay largely even, with blunt terminals and gently chamfered-looking joins that keep corners from feeling sharp. The outlines show subtle irregularity and slight edge wobble, giving the shapes an inked, pressed, or stamped impression while maintaining consistent letter structure. Counters are relatively tight and openings are modest, producing a dense texture in text while retaining clear silhouettes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and labels where a dense, tactile texture helps the message stand out. It also works well for signage and short bursts of copy, especially in contexts that benefit from an industrial or handcrafted feel.
The overall tone feels industrial and workmanlike, like labeling or packaging typography, but the softened corners add an approachable, friendly warmth. The slight roughness reads as tactile and handmade rather than sterile, lending authenticity and grit without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to merge sturdy, rounded sans construction with a deliberately imperfect, printed texture—delivering a bold, practical voice that feels physical and human-made while staying legible and structurally consistent.
The rhythm is steady and compact, with sturdy verticals and rounded bowls that resemble superellipse geometry. Numerals and capitals carry the same blunt, inked character, supporting a cohesive voice across display and short text settings where texture is part of the appeal.
