A compact, heavy-stroked display sans with intentionally uneven contours and angular corners. Stems and bowls feel hand-cut, with faceted edges, slight wobble in verticals, and small asymmetries that keep counters lively rather than geometric. Round letters (O, Q, o, e) read as softened polygons, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharp and slightly irregular. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions with single-storey forms and a small, plain t-like crossbar; numerals follow the same chunky, cut-paper rhythm with angled terminals and subtly inconsistent widths.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and playful brand marks where a handcrafted look is desirable. It can work for larger-size blurbs or quotes, but the busy edge texture and tight proportions make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a mischievous, handmade energy—more zine and cartoon than corporate. Its rough-hewn angularity suggests a playful, slightly spooky or Halloween-adjacent tone without leaning into ornate gothic details. Overall it feels informal, characterful, and designed to look intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive handmade sans voice—an approachable display face that reads clearly while preserving the charm of cut, carved, or marker-roughed letterforms. It prioritizes personality and rhythm over strict geometric consistency to create immediate visual character.
In running text, the irregular stroke edges create a lively texture and a bouncy baseline feel even though the letters remain upright. The design’s personality comes from consistent faceting and controlled inconsistency rather than high contrast or decorative add-ons, making it best treated as a display face rather than a neutral workhorse.
