A compact, hand-drawn sans with angular, chiseled contours and gently uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are built from mostly straight segments with rounded corners and occasional faceted curves, creating a subtly carved look. Proportions feel slightly narrow in places with lively, inconsistent widths from glyph to glyph, and a relatively high x-height that keeps lowercase forms prominent. Terminals are blunt and softly irregular, with an overall monoline impression and minimal modulation.
Best for display-forward applications such as posters, packaging, headlines, and illustrated or editorial titles where texture and personality are desirable. It can work for short passages in larger sizes, but the irregular rhythm is most effective when used for emphasis rather than dense body copy.
The font reads informal and characterful, with a craftsmanlike, slightly rough finish that suggests hand lettering rather than mechanical construction. Its quirky angularity gives it a friendly, offbeat tone—more whimsical than technical—well suited to warm, casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a hand-rendered, carved/inked aesthetic while remaining legible and approachable. Its controlled irregularities add warmth and uniqueness, aiming to stand apart from smoother, more neutral sans styles.
Uppercase shapes stay fairly geometric, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic gestures, especially in curving letters and bowls. Counters are generally open and sturdy, supporting clarity at moderate sizes, though the intentional wobble and faceting become more noticeable as text gets smaller.
