This font presents as a geometric, angular sans with a distinctly irregular, hand-cut construction. Strokes are largely monolinear but subtly vary in thickness due to uneven edges and slightly tapered terminals. Many bowls and counters lean toward squarish or faceted shapes, with corners that feel clipped rather than smoothly rounded. Baselines and sidebearings appear intentionally inconsistent, creating a lively, uneven rhythm across words while retaining clear letter recognition.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where personality is desirable: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can work in paragraphs at larger sizes, but the irregular rhythm and jagged detailing make it more effective when given room to breathe and when paired with a calmer companion for body text.
The overall tone feels playful and mischievous, like cut-paper signage or stylized marker lettering translated into sharp, stencil-like forms. Its jagged edges and off-kilter proportions add energy and a slightly gritty, DIY attitude, giving the face a distinctive, characterful voice rather than a neutral one.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, handcrafted sans voice with geometric structure underneath—combining legibility with deliberate roughness and asymmetry. It prioritizes expressive texture and an energetic rhythm, evoking hand-made signage and cutout lettering while staying within a clean, sans framework.
Uppercase forms read more rigid and sign-like, while the lowercase introduces more eccentricity (notably in narrow verticals and boxy counters). Numerals and punctuation follow the same faceted logic, keeping a consistent visual texture in mixed text. The unevenness is controlled enough to remain readable, but it is always visually present as a stylistic feature.
