A handmade, monoline display face with wobbly, ink-like strokes and softly squared curves. Letterforms favor simple geometric construction—boxy counters and right-angled turns—then break that rigidity with irregular outlines, bumpy terminals, and uneven stroke edges that mimic marker or brush drag. Proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, inconsistent rhythm; bowls and rectangles (notably in O/0 and similar shapes) feel slightly inflated and imperfect rather than mechanically drawn. Numerals and capitals share the same rough, hand-rendered texture, keeping the overall color dense and graphic even at larger sizes.
Best suited for short headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and editorial display where a hand-drawn, slightly chaotic voice is desirable. It can add character to album artwork, event promos, or zines, especially when set large so the inky texture and irregular contours remain clear.
The tone is quirky and mischievous, like a hand-lettered sign or doodled title that prioritizes personality over polish. Its imperfect edges and slightly awkward geometry give it a humorous, homemade character that reads as informal and experimental.
The likely intention is to blend simple, almost blocky geometry with a deliberately imperfect hand-drawn finish, producing a one-off display style that feels personal and unpolished in a controlled way. It aims to be attention-grabbing and distinctive rather than typographically neutral.
The design leans on squared structures across many glyphs while allowing notable idiosyncrasies (for example, asymmetric joins and irregular corners) that make repeated letters feel intentionally non-identical. Counters tend to stay open and legible, but the intentionally uneven outlines add visual noise that becomes part of the style.
