This typeface uses simple sans-like skeletons with uneven, hand-cut outlines. Strokes are generally heavy and low-contrast, but edges show small nicks and facets that create a slightly chiseled, irregular contour. Corners tend to be blunt or subtly rounded by the rough shaping, while curves (like O, C, S) appear gently squarish and not perfectly symmetrical. Proportions are straightforward with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a loose, slightly variable rhythm across glyphs that reads as intentionally imperfect rather than geometric.
It works best for display uses where texture and personality are an asset—posters, headings, short promotional lines, packaging, and playful branding. At larger sizes the faceted edges and handmade detailing remain clear and contribute to a distinctive graphic presence.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a DIY, crafty energy. Its roughened silhouettes add character and warmth, leaning playful and a bit eccentric rather than precise or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-shaped lettering—like paper-cut, carved, or stamped forms—while keeping familiar sans construction for easy recognition. The goal seems to be adding human irregularity and visual texture without sacrificing basic legibility.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and poster-like, while the lowercase maintains the same cut-paper texture, giving text a lively, uneven color on the line. Numerals share the same faceted treatment, keeping a consistent voice across letters and figures.
