A chunky, faceted display sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry and subtly shifting stroke widths. Many joins and terminals resolve into sharp wedges and small triangular notches, creating a carved or cut-paper effect rather than smooth curves. Bowls are often slightly squared or pinched, counters remain fairly open, and the overall rhythm is intentionally uneven, with letterforms varying in width and stance. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey constructions with distinctive pointed terminals and occasional hooked or notched details that add texture at text sizes.
Best suited for short to medium display settings where its irregular silhouettes and textured terminals can read as character rather than noise—headlines, posters, book covers, game or event branding, and illustrative packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when set with generous tracking and line spacing.
The font conveys a playful, storybook energy with a slightly mysterious, folkloric edge. Its jagged facets and lively silhouettes feel handcrafted and theatrical, suggesting motion and personality more than neutrality or strict precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive handmade display voice using faceted construction, wedge terminals, and controlled irregularity. It prioritizes character and thematic mood over typographic neutrality, aiming for a memorable, decorative presence in titles and branding.
The distinctive wedge terminals and internal notches produce high visual texture, especially in repeated verticals and diagonals (e.g., in words with many stems). Numerals follow the same carved motif, with angular bends and a stylized, calligraphic-like flow that complements the letters in headlines.
