This font is a faceted, monoline sans with sharply angled joins and tapered stroke endings that feel cut with a knife rather than drawn with a pen. Bowls and counters frequently resolve into diamond- and wedge-like forms (notably in O/0, C, and G), giving the alphabet a chiseled, geometric flavor despite its informal construction. Strokes show subtle wobble and inconsistent terminal angles, creating a lively, hand-shaped rhythm, while verticals remain generally straight and the overall silhouette stays clean and uncluttered. Spacing and widths vary per letter, producing an uneven but intentional texture that reads as crafted rather than mechanical.
It performs best in short to medium display settings where its angular character can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book covers, packaging, and titles for games or events. In continuous text it can work for brief passages or pull quotes, especially when a handcrafted, whimsical tone is desired.
The tone is whimsical and slightly eccentric, with a folkloric, storybook energy. Its sharp corners and shard-like curves add a hint of fantasy or adventure, while the light, airy construction keeps it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-carved or cut-paper look using simple strokes and angular geometry, prioritizing personality and distinctive texture over strict uniformity. It aims to provide a recognizable, themed voice for display typography while remaining structurally straightforward and readable at moderate sizes.
Uppercase forms are tall and striking for display, while lowercase maintains a simple, open structure with distinctive angular bowls. Numerals follow the same cut-out logic, with 0 rendered as a diamond-like loop and several figures built from straight segments and abrupt turns, reinforcing the handmade, carved aesthetic.
