A hand-drawn, irregular display face with subtly wobbly contours and chiseled, angular turns. Strokes fluctuate slightly in thickness and taper in places, creating a cut-paper or carved-marker feel rather than smooth geometry. Counters are uneven and often slightly polygonal, and curves tend to resolve into faceted arcs. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the text a lively, jittery rhythm while remaining generally readable.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where texture and personality matter—posters, packaging, book covers, game UI/title screens, and playful branding moments. It can work for short display paragraphs at comfortable sizes, but the irregularity is more effective as a stylistic accent than for long-form reading.
The overall tone is whimsical and offbeat, like casual lettering made for a prop, poster, or playful title. Its rough edges and inconsistent rhythm project an intentionally imperfect, human-made character that feels informal and a bit mischievous.
The design appears intended to capture a one-off, handmade lettering vibe—structured enough to typeset cleanly, but deliberately uneven to preserve an experimental, crafted look and an animated rhythm across words.
Uppercase forms read more monumental and sign-like, while the lowercase stays simple and open, helping legibility in short text despite the irregular outlines. Numerals share the same faceted, hand-cut look, with especially distinctive, angular bowls and diagonals.
