A faceted, monoline sans with slightly uneven strokes and irregular joins that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Curves are simplified into many short, angled segments, giving rounds like C, O, and G a polygonal outline and creating a subtly choppy perimeter throughout. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared-off, with occasional asymmetry and varied internal counters that add a lively rhythm. Spacing and widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, constructed look while remaining legible in continuous text.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where its angular, hand-made texture can be appreciated. It can work in short paragraphs or captions when ample size and leading preserve clarity, but it will be most effective when used to add a distinctive voice to titles and branding touchpoints.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, with a crafty, DIY energy that reads as human and a little mischievous. Its jagged geometry suggests cut-paper signage or marker shapes translated into a digital form, producing an approachable, slightly comic texture. It feels more expressive than neutral, bringing character without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend sans-serif clarity with a deliberately rough, faceted construction, evoking hand-cut lettering while staying broadly readable. By replacing smooth curves with angular segments and keeping stroke contrast minimal, it aims to provide a recognizable, energetic texture for contemporary display typography.
In text, the polygonal rounding becomes a consistent texture, especially in repeated bowls and loops, while straight-sided letters maintain a clean baseline presence. The figures echo the same cut, angular logic, helping headings and short blocks keep a unified voice. The slightly inconsistent construction can be an asset for branding that wants personality rather than pristine uniformity.
