A chunky, hand-drawn display face built from angular, wedge-like strokes and faceted corners. Letterforms favor triangular terminals, sharp joins, and slightly irregular outlines that mimic marker or cut-paper edges, giving the black shapes a subtly textured silhouette. Proportions and spacing vary from glyph to glyph, with energetic, inconsistent stroke endings and small asymmetries that keep the rhythm lively. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with single-storey forms, while figures are bold and geometric, matching the font’s hard-edged construction.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, headings, cover titles, and branded phrases where its rough angularity can carry personality. It also fits playful fantasy or adventure themes in game UI, event graphics, and packaging labels, especially when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The overall tone feels playful and slightly mischievous, with a handcrafted roughness that reads as DIY and characterful rather than polished. Its angular, rune-like geometry adds a mild medieval/fantasy flavor while staying friendly and legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to capture an informal, hand-made feel while using a consistently angular construction that suggests carving, cutouts, or brisk marker strokes. It prioritizes character and visual punch over uniformity, aiming for distinctive word shapes and an expressive, handcrafted texture in display typography.
Counters are often narrow and angular, and several letters use distinctive triangular cut-ins (notably in forms like A, B, D, P, and R), reinforcing a carved or chiseled impression. The heaviest visual weight tends to collect at corners and terminals, which amplifies the faceted look in words and headlines.
