A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with subtly irregular edges that add a stamped/hand-printed texture. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and terminals tend to end bluntly with small rounding rather than sharp cuts. Proportions are tight and vertical, creating a tall rhythm with minimal flourish and a straightforward, utilitarian skeleton softened by the rounded geometry.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its compact width and heavy color can create impact—posters, packaging, menus, signage, and bold editorial headers. It can also work for playful brand marks or product labels where a handmade, slightly vintage voice is desirable, while very small sizes may emphasize the textured edges.
The overall tone feels casual and approachable, like a vintage label or screen-printed poster. The rounded shapes keep it friendly, while the slight roughness introduces warmth and a human, DIY character. It reads as energetic and a little eccentric without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient sans that feels approachable rather than clinical. By combining rounded-rectangle forms with lightly distressed edges, it aims to balance clarity and punch with a tactile, printed personality.
The uppercase shows strong, simple silhouettes with consistent weight, while the lowercase maintains the same compact, rounded-rectilinear logic for bowls and stems. Numerals follow the same sturdy, condensed rhythm, making mixed alphanumerics feel cohesive. In longer text samples the texture becomes a noticeable stylistic feature rather than purely neutral typography.
