This typeface uses irregular, hand-cut-looking strokes with subtly uneven edges and slightly wobbly geometry. Letterforms are largely monolinear but show small variations in stroke thickness and endpoint shaping, producing a carved or brushed impression rather than a mechanically perfect outline. Curves tend to be faceted and polygonal, counters are open and sometimes asymmetric, and spacing feels organically inconsistent in a deliberate way. The overall construction stays simple and sans-like, with a gently rugged texture that becomes more apparent in running text.
It works best for short to medium text where texture and personality are desired—headlines, posters, packaging, event graphics, and book covers. It can also suit children’s or whimsical editorial uses, where the uneven contours add charm without relying on ornate detailing.
The font communicates a casual, handcrafted tone with a playful roughness. Its uneven rhythm and faceted curves give it a folk-art or storybook energy, feeling approachable and slightly mischievous rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to mimic a handmade sign or cut-paper/woodcut style while retaining straightforward, readable sans-like structures. Its controlled irregularities suggest a goal of adding warmth and character to display typography without becoming overly decorative.
Capitals and lowercase share the same handmade logic, with notable liveliness in round letters (C, O, Q, e) where the outlines appear lightly notched or carved. Numerals match the same irregular stroke endings and simplified shapes, keeping a cohesive, drawn-by-hand feel across the set.
