A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and noticeably softened corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with slightly irregular, inked edges that give the outlines a hand-stamped look. Counters are tight and simplified, and curves (C, O, S) read as squarish superellipses rather than true circles, creating a sturdy, poster-like rhythm. Spacing feels pragmatic and a bit uneven, reinforcing the informal, tactile texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and playful signage where its chunky forms and textured edges can be appreciated. It can work for brief display copy or pull quotes, but is less ideal for small-size, text-heavy reading without added spacing.
The overall tone is friendly and mischievous, combining bold impact with a casual, DIY warmth. Its subtly rough perimeter suggests printmaking, rubber stamps, or screen-printed signage, lending a nostalgic, street-level energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a soft, approachable silhouette, while adding human character through deliberately imperfect edges. It balances geometric, rounded construction with a tactile finish to evoke handmade printing and casual display typography.
In longer lines the dense weight and compact counters create a strong dark color, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing. The numerals share the same chunky, rounded-rect geometry, helping mixed text feel consistent.
