An all-outline display face built from monoline contours with no fill, creating airy, hollow letterforms. Strokes are drawn as slightly wobbly, angular polygons with frequent sharp corners and subtle kinks, giving a hand-cut, doodled geometry rather than smooth curves. Proportions skew tall with compact counters, and overall spacing feels loose and uneven in an intentional, lively way. The alphabet mixes straight segments and faceted curves (notably in round letters like O/Q and numerals), maintaining a consistent outline thickness while allowing irregular widths and silhouettes across glyphs.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the outline texture can be appreciated—posters, flyers, cover art, packaging callouts, and comic-style titling. It can work for brief subheads or captions when set large enough to keep the hollow construction from thinning out visually.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, with a sketchy, cut-paper energy that reads as informal and expressive. Its jagged outlines and uneven rhythm evoke a comic, zine, or DIY poster sensibility—more mischievous than polished—while still remaining legible at headline sizes.
The design appears intended as an expressive outline display font that prioritizes personality and texture over strict uniformity. Its faceted, hand-drawn contours aim to create an energetic, DIY look that stands out in titles and graphic applications.
Interior shapes are generally small and sometimes simplified, emphasizing the outer contour over counter detail. The outline construction means texture depends strongly on background and color contrast, and the faceted forms become more distinctive as size increases.
