This typeface uses simplified, serifless letterforms with a distinctly hand-cut silhouette. Strokes show subtle tapering and wedge-like terminals, creating an angular, slightly calligraphic rhythm without true serifs. Curves are open and a bit asymmetrical (notably in bowls and shoulders), and diagonals carry a carved, knife-edged feel. Counters remain generous and the overall construction is clean but intentionally irregular, with small variations in stroke endings and joining behavior that keep the texture lively in text.
It works best in short to medium-length settings where personality is welcome: headlines, posters, packaging, and branding accents. The distinctive terminals and irregular rhythm can also suit book covers and editorial pull quotes, especially when a handmade, approachable tone is desired.
The overall tone feels informal and characterful—more crafted than engineered. Its sharp terminals and gentle irregularities evoke handmade signage and storybook display typography, giving copy a friendly, slightly mischievous voice while staying clear and readable.
The design appears intended to deliver an unconventional sans voice that feels manually shaped rather than mechanically drawn. By combining simple structures with sharp, tapered endings and mild asymmetry, it aims to stand out with a crafted, expressive texture while remaining broadly legible.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent dark color and steady spacing while preserving its cut-paper personality. Numerals follow the same wedge-terminal logic, reinforcing a cohesive, crafted system across letters and figures.
