A wiry, monoline sans with angular, faceted construction and intentionally irregular geometry. Strokes appear as straight segments that meet at sharp corners, giving many glyphs a slightly "cut paper" or polygonal outline rather than smooth curves. The slant is consistent across upper- and lowercase, with uneven stroke endings and occasional kinked joins that create a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Counters are compact and often squarish, and overall spacing feels uneven in a deliberate way, reinforcing an informal, sketch-like texture in text.
Works best at display sizes where the angular details and irregular rhythm can read clearly—posters, headlines, packaging accents, and culture-forward branding. It can also suit game UI titles or streamer/creator graphics where personality matters more than typographic neutrality; for long text, it will feel intentionally restless and attention-grabbing.
The font reads as quirky and mischievous, with a DIY, slightly chaotic energy. Its jagged angles and offbeat proportions give it a punky, playful tone that feels more expressive than neutral, suited to designs that want to look handmade or off-kilter rather than polished.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-made, angular sans voice—combining a consistent slant with faceted strokes to deliver personality and movement. Its goal seems to be expressive legibility: recognizable letterforms, but with enough irregularity and sharp geometry to feel custom and energetic.
Uppercase forms tend toward blocky, angular silhouettes (notably in bowls and rounded letters), while lowercase retains the same faceted logic with simplified, sometimes compressed shapes. Numerals follow the same polygonal treatment, with open, angular turns and a distinctly drawn-by-hand character that stays consistent across the set.
