A condensed, rounded sans with chunky, softly squared counters and an intentionally uneven edge. Strokes stay largely uniform, with subtle wobble and ink-like texture that breaks the outline and slightly varies stem thickness. Curves tend toward superelliptical shapes, giving O/C/G/Q a rounded-rectangle feel, while joins and terminals are blunt and compact. Spacing is tight and the rhythm is vertical and narrow, with occasional small irregularities that reinforce a hand-rendered look.
This font is well suited to headlines, short captions, and punchy display copy where texture and personality are assets. It can work effectively on posters, packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics, especially when you want a handcrafted, slightly rough finish. For longer paragraphs, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the texture and narrow proportions remain clear.
The overall tone is informal and lively, with a screen-printed or stamped character that feels approachable rather than precise. Its slightly distressed outlines add grit and warmth, suggesting analog production and a quirky, DIY personality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a condensed display sans with a deliberately imperfect, inked outline—combining rounded-rectangle geometry with a tactile, printed texture. It prioritizes character and impact over clinical precision, evoking hand-cut lettering or worn rubber-stamp impressions.
Uppercase forms read as sturdy and poster-friendly, while lowercase retains the same condensed stance and textured perimeter for consistent voice across cases. Numerals follow the same heavy, compact construction, keeping the set cohesive for short bursts of mixed text.
