A compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and largely even, with a slightly uneven, inked texture that introduces small edge wobbles and subtle shape variation. Counters tend to be small and squarish-rounded, and curves (C, G, O) feel more like superellipses than perfect circles. The lowercase keeps straightforward, sturdy forms with short ascenders/descenders and simple, open apertures, producing a dense, poster-like rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its compact, chunky shapes can stay crisp and expressive—posters, packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for brief subheads or callouts, especially in designs aiming for a tactile, printed feel.
The overall tone is friendly and handmade, combining bold presence with a casual, slightly roughened finish. Its rounded geometry and compact spacing give it a playful, retro utility—confident and approachable rather than sleek or clinical.
The design appears aimed at delivering a strong, space-efficient sans that feels human and tactile. By combining rounded-rectangle geometry with a deliberately imperfect edge, it prioritizes personality and impact over neutral minimalism.
The figures share the same blocky, rounded-rectangle DNA as the letters, reading clearly at display sizes. The texture and softened corners are consistent across the alphabet, helping maintain a cohesive, screen-print/ink-stamp feel even in longer lines.
