A jagged, hand-drawn sans with faceted curves and chiseled-looking terminals. Strokes maintain a generally even thickness, but the outlines wobble subtly and corners break into angled planes, creating an intentionally rough, cut-paper rhythm. Bowls and counters tend toward polygonal shapes (notably in O, Q, 8, 9), and diagonals feel energetic and slightly uneven, giving the alphabet a lively, improvised texture. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handcrafted, non-mechanical construction.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, packaging, and playful branding where an informal, handmade voice is desired. It can also work for short bursts of copy (captions, callouts, game UI, or comics), but the jagged texture may become tiring in long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a cartoonish edge that reads as casual and expressive rather than polished or corporate. Its angular “carved” shapes suggest a crafty, DIY personality—friendly, a bit chaotic, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to emulate a quick, hand-cut or marker-sketched sans, prioritizing character and motion over geometric precision. Its controlled irregularity and faceted curves aim to deliver a distinctive, fun display texture that remains broadly legible.
The font’s signature comes from its broken-curve geometry: curves are implied through multiple short angles, and terminals often finish with sharp, asymmetric cuts. In text, the irregularities create a lively texture that works best when the roughness is a feature rather than a distraction.
