A tall, narrow, monoline sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-drawn construction. Curves are frequently replaced by sharp corners and flat planes, giving bowls and rounds a faceted, polygonal feel (notably in letters like O and Q). Strokes keep a generally consistent thickness with slight wobble and uneven joins, producing a casual rhythm and varied texture across a line. Spacing and widths are uneven in a human way, and terminals tend to be blunt or slightly tapered rather than crisply engineered.
Best suited for display settings where personality is more important than strict uniformity, such as posters, short headlines, book covers, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can work well for themed titles, indie branding, or playful signage, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceted construction is clearly visible.
The overall tone is quirky and informal, with a slightly offbeat, storybook energy. Its angular faceting adds a hint of primitive or runic character without becoming decorative, keeping the mood playful and a little rough-around-the-edges.
The design appears intended to translate quick, marker-like hand lettering into a coherent font while preserving natural irregularities. By substituting curves with planar facets, it aims to create a distinctive angular voice that feels handmade and expressive rather than neutral.
The alphabet shows deliberate inconsistencies in symmetry and alignment that read as authentic hand lettering rather than mechanical distortion. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with open, angular counters and simplified forms that prioritize character over neutrality.
