A quirky monolinear sans with lightly irregular geometry and a distinctly hand-drawn, constructed feel. Strokes are generally even and thin, with sharp corners and occasional kinked curves that give letters a slightly restless rhythm. Many forms lean on open, simplified bowls and angular joins; terminals often feel cut off or subtly flared rather than smoothly finished. Proportions vary noticeably across letters, with narrow glyphs and wider, more open ones creating a lively texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its personality can be appreciated—posters, packaging, cover titling, and branding accents. It can work for short blurbs and pull quotes, but the irregular rhythm and stylized letterforms make it less ideal for long-form reading or dense UI text.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, suggesting an informal, slightly retro character rather than a neutral workhorse sans. Its idiosyncratic shapes and uneven cadence read as human and expressive, lending a whimsical, offbeat voice to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, handcrafted sans voice with deliberate irregularities and bespoke letter shapes. It emphasizes charm and individuality over strict geometric consistency, aiming to stand out in expressive editorial and promotional typography.
The lowercase shows prominent ascenders with small, distinctive tittle shapes on i/j, and several glyphs (such as g, q, y, and z) take unconventional, stylized constructions. Numerals follow the same angular, hand-inked logic, with open forms and sharp internal angles that prioritize character over strict uniformity.
