A lively, hand-drawn sans with slightly angular, chiseled outlines and deliberately uneven contours. Strokes stay mostly monolinear, but edges wobble and corners pinch, creating a carved or cut-paper feel rather than a mechanical construction. The proportions run compact and tall, with a tight interior rhythm and subtly inconsistent widths across glyphs that enhance the handmade cadence. Counters are generally open and simple, and terminals tend to end bluntly, with occasional tapered joins that add character in words and longer lines.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where texture and personality are an asset: posters, titles, book covers, product packaging, and expressive branding. It can also work for pull quotes or captions when you want a handcrafted voice, but the irregular contours are most effective at larger sizes.
The font conveys an informal, crafty tone—more sketchbook and storybook than corporate. Its irregularities read as personable and mischievous, suggesting handmade signage, DIY packaging, or a light spooky/folkloric mood depending on context.
The design appears intended to provide a friendly, handmade sans alternative with a slightly carved, imperfect finish—prioritizing character and rhythmic texture over strict uniformity. It aims to feel approachable and distinctive while remaining simple enough for clear headline use.
Uppercase forms feel slightly more geometric and emblematic, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and bounce, giving mixed-case text a lively texture. Numerals share the same uneven, hand-cut logic, keeping the overall color consistent in display settings.
