A faceted, hand-drawn sans built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with planar cuts standing in for curves. Strokes are monoline and slightly wobbly, producing a lively, uneven rhythm and subtly inconsistent joins. Many bowls and rounds resolve into diamond or polygonal forms (notably in O/Q/0 and 8/9), while diagonals and wedge terminals create a chiseled, geometric silhouette. Spacing feels loose and organic rather than mechanically uniform, reinforcing the sketch-like construction.
Best suited to display settings where its angular, carved geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title treatments, game or fantasy-themed UI, and distinctive branding accents. It can work for short bursts of copy, but the strong faceting and irregularity are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is rune-like and adventurous, evoking carved marks, improvised signage, or stylized fantasy lettering. Its angular facets and irregular stroke behavior add a mischievous, handcrafted energy that reads as expressive and characterful rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to translate a carved or drawn-in-marker look into a consistent alphabet, emphasizing sharp facets, diamond-like rounds, and an intentionally imperfect rhythm to project a crafted, adventurous personality.
Distinctive diamond counters and triangular notches recur across letters and numerals, helping the design stay cohesive despite its intentionally rough finish. The texture becomes especially noticeable in longer text, where the jitter and sharp terminals create a rhythmic, scratchy color on the line.
