A monoline slab-serif design with tall proportions, crisp unbracketed slabs, and an intentionally irregular, hand-rendered construction. Curves are frequently translated into faceted, many-sided forms, giving bowls and rounds a polygonal feel, while joins and terminals keep a sharp, slightly wobbly outline as if drawn with a fine pen. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across letters, producing a lively rhythm; diagonals and crossbars are clean but not mechanically uniform. Numerals and caps echo the same angular, lightly off-kilter geometry, maintaining a consistent thin stroke and airy color on the page.
Best suited to display settings where its angular, hand-drawn texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book covers, packaging, and playful branding. It can also work for short passages in editorial or kids/YA contexts when set with generous size and leading to preserve its airy, sketch-like detail.
The overall tone is playful and oddball, combining a classical serif silhouette with a scribbled, geometric roughness. It reads as clever and slightly mischievous—more “handmade display” than formal text—suited to designs that benefit from personality and a touch of eccentricity.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a slab-serif framework through a deliberately imperfect, faceted drawing style—keeping recognizably serifed structures while injecting a crafted, idiosyncratic voice. The goal seems to be distinctive texture and character rather than strict typographic neutrality or continuous reading comfort.
The faceting is especially apparent in rounded letters (C, G, O, Q and their lowercase counterparts), which look cut from small straight segments rather than smooth arcs. The thin strokes and open counters keep it from feeling heavy, but the prominent slabs preserve clear letter endings and a distinctive silhouette at larger sizes.
