A heavy, all-caps-forward sans with chunky strokes and rounded interior spaces. The letterforms are built from simple, broad shapes but rendered with an intentionally uneven edge treatment that creates a printed/hand-cut texture and slight wobble in stems and curves. Counters are generous for the weight, and joins tend to be blunt rather than sharp, producing a sturdy silhouette. Lowercase follows the same compact, weighty construction, and numerals are similarly blocky with soft corners and slightly irregular outlines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where the textured heft can be appreciated. It also works well on packaging, labels, and merch graphics that benefit from a handmade, stamped look. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample line spacing.
The overall tone is lively and informal, like stamped packaging or hand-inked signage. Its roughened outlines and bouncy rhythm give it a casual, approachable energy while still reading as loud and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver strong emphasis with a crafted, analog feel—combining simple, rounded sans structures with a deliberately rough, print-worn surface to add personality and grit.
Spacing and letterfit feel tight and compact in the sample text, emphasizing dense, poster-like blocks of color. The texture is consistent across the set, suggesting a deliberate distressed finish rather than incidental noise.
