A quirky, monoline sans with angular, slightly wobbly stroke construction and a hand-drawn, marker-like economy of line. Terminals are blunt and corners are often pinched or subtly kinked, creating a jagged rhythm even in otherwise geometric forms. Counters tend to be boxy and asymmetric, and several glyphs show intentional inconsistencies in width and alignment that give the face a lively, improvised texture. Overall spacing feels tight and compact, with tall, narrow proportions and a noticeably small lowercase presence relative to capitals.
Best suited for display typography where its angular personality can carry the message—posters, headlines, cover art, packaging callouts, and stylized UI labels. It can work for short bursts of text in branded materials, but the irregularities and compact spacing make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font reads as mischievous and DIY, with a deliberately off-kilter geometry that suggests zines, indie posters, and lo-fi digital games. Its tense angles and irregular rhythm add attitude, while the simple strokes keep it approachable and legible at display sizes.
This looks designed to capture a raw, handmade sans aesthetic—geometric at its core but intentionally destabilized with uneven joins and quirky proportions. The goal appears to be a distinctive voice that feels crafted and unconventional rather than polished or strictly systematic.
The design leans on straight segments and near-right angles more than curves, producing a distinctly constructed look. Numerals and uppercase forms are especially squarish, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic gestures (notably in bowls and cross-strokes), reinforcing the hand-built character.
