This typeface presents a compact, monoline sans structure with subtly irregular contours that read as hand-cut or lightly distressed rather than mechanically perfect. Strokes maintain an even weight with frequent angled terminals and small corner breaks that create a chiseled, faceted feel in bowls and joins. Proportions are generally condensed and tall, with slightly inconsistent widths across letters that add a human rhythm. Curves are simplified and somewhat polygonal, producing tight counters and a sturdy, sign-like silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase.
It suits headlines, short blocks of copy, and display settings where a handmade, distinctive texture is desirable—posters, packaging, labels, and characterful branding. It can also work for informal editorial callouts or pull quotes where a crafted, slightly rough voice supports the content.
The overall tone is informal and handmade, with a quirky, slightly roughened personality that feels approachable rather than polished. Its angular interruptions and uneven edges give it an offbeat, crafty energy—more zine or DIY poster than corporate UI.
The design appears intended to deliver a sans-serif reading experience with a deliberate handmade twist—prioritizing personality, compactness, and a carved/assembled look over geometric precision. The controlled monoline weight keeps it readable while the angular terminals and irregular outlines provide a signature texture.
The digit set follows the same faceted, cut-paper logic, helping numerals blend naturally with text. In running copy, the irregular edges become a consistent texture, while the compact spacing and simplified curves keep the color dense and punchy.
