A quirky sans with hand-drawn irregularity and subtly faceted, chiseled-looking curves. Strokes are mostly monolinear but wobble slightly, with uneven joins and terminals that often end in angled cuts rather than smooth rounding. Bowls and counters tend to be polygonal and slightly off-center, giving letters a lively, imperfect rhythm; round forms like O/0 and C read as softly octagonal. Spacing and sidebearings feel inconsistent in an intentional way, reinforcing the variable, handmade texture across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are an asset: posters, headlines, packaging, event flyers, and playful branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where a handmade, quirky voice is desired, but the irregular rhythm may be less suitable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is informal and characterful, like lettering made with a marker or cut from paper. Its uneven geometry reads playful and a bit mischievous, balancing friendliness with a rough, handmade edge.
The design appears intended to mimic casual hand lettering while keeping a clean sans structure, using controlled irregularity and faceted curves to create an energetic, crafted feel. It prioritizes distinctive texture and a friendly, offbeat voice over strict geometric consistency.
Capitals are simple and blocky with minimal modulation, while lowercase adds more personality through slightly leaning stems, asymmetric bowls, and idiosyncratic shapes (notably in forms like a, g, y, and z). Numerals keep the same faceted construction, with the 8 appearing as two irregular loops and the 2/3 showing pronounced angular turns.
