This is an outline display face built from single, unfilled contours with open counters and no interior fill. Letterforms are angular and slightly warped, with faceted corners, uneven stroke paths, and a deliberately hand-rendered wobble that keeps stems and bowls from feeling mechanically straight. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with compact widths, small apertures, and simplified geometry that reads clearly at headline sizes. The outlines are consistent in thickness but retain rough, sketch-like articulation, giving the alphabet an energetic, cut-paper or carved look.
Best suited to posters, headlines, packaging, and short branding phrases where the outline texture can be appreciated. It can also work well for event flyers, album art, and playful editorial callouts, especially when paired with a quieter text face for body copy.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, mixing cartoon playfulness with a slightly eerie, punk-zine edge. Its jagged contours and irregular rhythm create a lively, imperfect personality that feels handcrafted rather than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, hand-drawn outline look with a deliberately irregular, angular construction—optimized for expressive display typography rather than neutral reading. Its consistent contour weight and energetic shapes aim to add character and attitude quickly in titles and signage-like settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similar construction style, with the lowercase leaning toward simplified, chunky forms that keep the same faceted outline language. Numerals follow the same angular, comic-outline treatment, maintaining a cohesive rhythm across alphanumerics.
