A heavy, compact sans with rounded, superelliptic counters and blunt terminals. Strokes are mostly monoline, but the outlines are intentionally irregular, with wobbly edges and slightly uneven joins that create a printed/hand-inked feel. Curves stay squarish rather than purely circular, and the overall rhythm is tight with short extenders and sturdy forms that hold together well at larger sizes.
Best suited for short-form display use such as headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and playful branding where a tactile, handmade texture is desirable. It can work in short blurbs or signage, but the heavy texture and tight rhythm make it less ideal for long continuous reading at small sizes.
The texture reads friendly and informal, like stamped lettering or marker-drawn caps. Its slight roughness adds warmth and personality, giving it a playful, retro craft tone rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to blend a simple sans skeleton with a deliberately imperfect, inked outline—capturing the charm of DIY print, rubber-stamp, or hand-cut lettering while keeping letterforms clear and sturdy.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same chunky construction, with single-story lowercase forms and simple, open apertures. Numerals are similarly blocky and rounded, matching the font’s soft-rectangle geometry and consistent weight.
