A choppy, hand-drawn display face with mostly monoline strokes and slightly irregular edges that mimic quick marker or brush work. Forms are built from angular, flattened curves and boxy bowls, with inconsistent stroke terminals and occasional notches that create a cut-out, patched look. Counters tend to be squarish, corners are often blunt rather than smoothly rounded, and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, giving the alphabet a lively, uneven rhythm. The lowercase is simple and open, with single-storey constructions and straightforward stems that keep the texture light while still distinctly roughened.
Best used for short, prominent copy such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, zines, or playful interface labels where character matters more than smooth readability. It can work for brief paragraphs in informal contexts, but the uneven stroke behavior is most effective in display settings and at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is mischievous and informal, leaning toward a deliberately imperfect, doodled aesthetic. Its uneven contours and quirky proportions feel handmade and playful, suited to expressive, personality-forward typography rather than polished neutrality.
The design appears intended to capture a spontaneous, hand-rendered look with deliberately irregular contours and boxy, simplified letter skeletons. It prioritizes personality and graphic texture over refinement, providing an expressive alternative to clean sans or geometric display styles.
At text sizes the irregular edges create a busy texture, while at larger sizes the angular construction and rough terminals read as a deliberate graphic effect. Numerals and capitals share the same cut-and-chisel feel, helping headings stay consistent even when mixing cases and figures.
