A compact, heavy sans with a hand-cut, chiseled look. Strokes stay largely even in thickness while terminals and corners are irregularly beveled, producing octagonal counters and faceted curves (notably in O/Q/C/G). The letterforms mix straight segments with slightly wobbly rounding, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven, lively rhythm. Lowercase is simple and sturdy with rounded bowls and short, chunky joins; figures are equally blocky with the same cut-corner geometry.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and merch graphics where its carved, quirky texture can read at a glance. It can also work for playful signage or titles, but extended body text may feel busy due to the irregular geometry and varying widths.
The overall tone is friendly and scrappy, like marker lettering translated into carved shapes. Its uneven edges and faceted curves evoke a retro, handcrafted sensibility that feels informal and energetic rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handcrafted sans voice by combining monoline weight with intentionally imperfect, beveled shaping. The goal seems to be recognizability and personality—strong silhouettes, chunky counters, and a cut-paper or carved-stamp effect that stands out in display sizes.
Distinctive details include polygonal interior spaces, asymmetric notches, and occasional exaggerated feet or hooks (for example in J, t, and some diagonals). In text, the strong color and uneven character widths make it more expressive than neutral, with a slightly bouncy baseline feel despite upright construction.
