A condensed, soft-cornered sans with rounded-rectangle construction and subtly uneven contours. Strokes stay largely monolinear, but the edges show a deliberate inked texture, with slight wobble and occasional swelling that adds a handmade rhythm. Counters are compact and oval/rectangular, apertures are modest, and terminals are mostly blunt with gentle rounding. Spacing feels tight and vertical, producing an efficient, poster-like texture while retaining clear letter separation in the sample text.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its narrow footprint and textured character can add personality—posters, labels, packaging, and brand marks in craft, food, beverage, or vintage-inspired contexts. It can work for subheads or brief body copy at comfortable sizes, but the distressed edges and condensed proportions favor display settings over long-form reading.
The font conveys a handcrafted, vintage tone—part sign-painting, part rubber-stamp—mixing friendliness with a slightly gritty, analog feel. Its narrow stance and textured outlines give it a quirky, characterful voice that reads as informal and human rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, highly legible sans structure while introducing an analog, inked irregularity for warmth and authenticity. Its rounded-rectangle geometry suggests a constructed base, then softened and roughened to feel printed or hand-rendered.
Capitals and figures share the same condensed DNA, with simple, sturdy shapes and minimal ornament. The lowercase maintains a consistent x-height presence with straightforward, upright forms; the overall effect is cohesive, though intentionally imperfect at the edges for personality.
