A jagged, hand-drawn display face built from mostly straight, slightly wobbly strokes with frequent sharp corners and occasional small flares at terminals. Curves are simplified into faceted, polygon-like shapes (notably in bowls and numerals), giving the alphabet a chiseled, cut-paper feel. Stroke thickness is fairly consistent, but outlines show intentional irregularities and varied join behavior, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. Spacing and letter widths fluctuate, with compact forms next to wider, more open constructions, reinforcing an improvised, sketchy texture in text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text where personality matters more than typographic restraint—posters, headers, event promotions, packaging accents, game/UI labels, or playful merchandise. It can work in brief blurbs, but the uneven rhythm and angular detailing are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat—more doodled than engineered—suggesting humor, novelty, and a slightly chaotic energy. Its angular “carved” look nods to puzzle, game, or fantasy-adjacent lettering while still reading as modern, playful display type.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful voice: a deliberately imperfect, angular hand-lettered style that feels energetic and unconventional. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and a quirky texture over smooth continuity, aiming for immediate visual impact in display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough-edged construction, with simplified counters and idiosyncratic silhouettes that make individual letters feel custom. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, reading clearly while maintaining the same irregular, handmade character.
