A decorative, hand-drawn print face with compact proportions and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear but feature sharp, faceted terminals and wedge-like cut-ins that create a chiseled, stencil-adjacent look. Bowls and rounds are slightly flattened or pinched, and many joins break into small angles rather than smooth curves, giving the alphabet a carved, notch-edged texture. Uppercase forms are tall and assertive, while lowercase keeps a simple structure with distinctive, often angular entry/exit shapes; numerals follow the same faceted logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its faceted terminals and hand-made texture can be appreciated—book covers, posters, titles, labels, and themed packaging. It works especially well when you want an informal, characterful voice rather than a neutral reading face.
The overall tone feels whimsical and theatrical, like lettering from a fairy-tale placard or a quirky mystery poster. Its sharp nicks and irregularities add a hint of mischief and darkness without becoming fully aggressive, balancing charm with a slightly eerie, handcrafted edge.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive hand-lettering with a carved or cut-paper flavor, using consistent wedge notches to create a distinctive signature across the set. The goal seems to be high personality and instant recognizability for display typography.
The font’s defining character comes from repeated triangular cuts and tapered spurs that appear across both straight and curved strokes, creating strong texture at display sizes. In longer lines the lively silhouette stays engaging, though the decorative notching can become visually busy in small text.
