A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and blunt terminals. Strokes are broad and generally uniform, but edges show intentional irregularity—subtle waviness, nicks, and uneven contours—creating a hand-pressed or cut-out look. Counters are simple and open, with squarish bowls and rounded corners that keep forms legible despite the distressed outline. Overall spacing feels sturdy and headline-oriented, with a strong black footprint and slightly uneven rhythm that reads as tactile rather than mechanical.
Best suited to display settings where impact and texture matter: posters, bold editorial headlines, packaging, labels, and brand marks. It also works well for event graphics or signage that benefits from a handmade, stamped aesthetic. For long passages at small sizes, the heavy weight and rough edges may feel dense, but short bursts of text read strongly.
The tone is bold and friendly with a roughened, analog edge. It suggests inked stamps, screen prints, or hand-cut signage—confident and attention-grabbing, but not clinical. The texture adds warmth and a casual, slightly mischievous personality.
The design appears intended to combine simple, rounded sans geometry with an intentionally imperfect, tactile outline. It aims for high visual presence and a handcrafted print feel while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable.
Round forms (like O/0 and bowls in B/P/R) lean toward superelliptical geometry, while diagonals and joins remain thick and blunt, reinforcing a chunky silhouette. The distressed contour is consistent enough to feel intentional, giving large text a lively, imperfect surface.
