A quirky, monolinear sans with a deliberately irregular construction and mixed geometry. Many letters combine thin straight strokes with abrupt hooks, notches, and occasional triangular or wedge-like terminals, creating a scratchy, hand-drawn rhythm despite overall upright posture. Curves tend to be open and lightly tensioned, while several capitals introduce decorative internal cuts or small counters that read as intentional “glitches.” Width and spacing vary noticeably across glyphs, giving the alphabet an uneven, characterful cadence rather than a strictly systematized text face.
Best suited for display settings where its eccentric shapes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, cover titles, and short phrases. It can also work for themed captions or labels, but the irregular rhythm and decorative interruptions make it less appropriate for extended reading at small sizes.
The tone is playful and offbeat, with a slightly mischievous, homemade feel. Its sharp little interruptions and asymmetric details evoke puzzle-book oddities, spooky-cute signage, or retro novelty lettering rather than neutral modernism.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive, novelty sans voice by mixing clean monoline strokes with purposeful disruptions—hooks, cuts, and angular accents—so even simple words feel animated and custom-lettered.
The uppercase set carries most of the personality, with several letters showing pronounced internal incisions and unconventional joins; the lowercase is comparatively simpler but still keeps occasional curls and idiosyncratic bowls. Numerals are similarly light and stylized, with distinctive forms that prioritize character over uniformity.
