A hand-drawn, sans-like design with irregular, slightly angular strokes that feel cut or chiseled rather than mechanically drawn. Terminals are blunt and uneven, with subtle kinks and varying stroke widths that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters tend toward squarish or faceted shapes (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), and curves are often approximated with soft angles. The overall texture is sturdy and legible at display sizes, with intentionally inconsistent geometry and spacing that reinforces its informal construction.
Best suited to short-form text where personality matters: posters, headings, packaging, labels, and casual branding. It can also work for comics, invitations, and craft-oriented projects where a handmade texture is desirable and a bit of roughness enhances the message.
The font reads as friendly and mischievous, with a crafty, sketchbook energy. Its roughened outlines and faceted curves evoke DIY signage and handmade lettering, giving text an approachable, lightly comic tone without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of hand lettering while staying readable and broadly usable. Its controlled irregularities and blunt, angular construction suggest a deliberate effort to deliver a distinctive, informal voice for display typography.
Capitals show simplified, blocky forms with occasional asymmetry, while lowercase maintains the same handmade logic with compact, practical shapes. Numerals continue the faceted, uneven contour treatment, helping mixed text feel consistent and intentionally imperfect.
