A quirky monoline display face that mixes hairline strokes with occasional heavy, inked blobs that replace bowls and counters. Geometry is loosely constructed with open, circular forms (notably in C/O/Q) and straight, lightly wobbling stems, producing an intentionally inconsistent rhythm across the alphabet. Several glyphs feature collapsed interiors or solid “plug” shapes—especially in rounded letters and numerals—creating a cutout/filled-counter effect that reads like ink pooling or pasted shapes. Terminals are often tapered or slightly flared, and proportions vary from narrow, spindly letters to sudden bold masses, giving the line a stop‑start texture in words.
Best suited for short display settings where its irregular rhythm and filled-counter surprises can act as graphic texture—posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging callouts, and editorial openers. It can also work in larger UI or signage moments as an accent type, but extended body copy may feel visually busy due to the intermittent solid shapes.
The tone is playful and offbeat, with a crafty, experimental feel that suggests collage, brush ink, or improvisational lettering rather than strict typographic regularity. The filled blobs add a humorous, slightly surreal character that feels retro-modern and attention-seeking without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to subvert a clean monoline skeleton with deliberate counter-collapsing fills and uneven glyph-to-glyph weight distribution, creating a distinctive novelty voice. It aims to balance legibility with unexpected black shapes that function like built-in ornaments and focal points in words.
In text lines, the alternating thin strokes and solid fills create strong visual accents on certain letters (e.g., a, g, p, s, and several numerals), so the face reads best when those surprises are part of the intended personality. Curves are generally soft and round, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are wiry and lightweight, reinforcing the contrast between delicate structure and heavy inserts.
