A tall, tightly drawn sans with a handmade, carved look. Strokes are mostly monolinear but slightly uneven, with angular joins and frequent wedge-like terminals that create a faceted silhouette. Curves are simplified into chamfered arcs, and many forms lean on straight segments, giving the letters a crisp, cut-paper rhythm. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, crafted texture in text.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and cover typography where its angular, hand-cut texture can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short brand phrases, labels, or event graphics that benefit from an offbeat, crafted personality rather than a neutral, text-first tone.
The overall tone is quirky and characterful, with a slightly mischievous, DIY energy. Its sharp corners and irregular rhythm read as expressive rather than formal, evoking hand-lettered signage or stylized display typography with a lightly gothic/whimsical edge.
This design appears aimed at delivering a distinctive handmade sans voice: compact, tall proportions paired with chiseled, irregular detailing to stand out in display contexts. The consistent use of faceted curves and wedge terminals suggests an intentional attempt to mimic cut or carved letterforms while retaining a sans structure.
Distinctive triangular notches and chiseled terminals show up across both uppercase and lowercase, and the numerals follow the same faceted construction for a cohesive voice. The font’s narrow build and spiky details create strong vertical emphasis, so it tends to form a lively, uneven color when set in paragraphs.
