A compact, upright sans with a hand-cut, angular construction and deliberately uneven contours. Strokes stay largely monoline, but edges break into faceted corners and small kinks, creating a chiseled silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are often polygonal and slightly inconsistent from glyph to glyph, and terminals tend to end in blunt wedges. The overall rhythm is lively and a bit restless, with subtle variations in width and stroke direction that read as intentionally rough-hewn.
Best suited for display use such as posters, headlines, packaging, and characterful branding where its handmade geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or book-cover titling, especially in playful or alternative contexts. For long reading passages, the irregular edges and tight openings suggest using generous size and spacing.
The font projects a quirky, crafty personality—more zine and handmade poster than polished corporate typography. Its jagged geometry and irregular detailing add humor and energy, giving text a slightly mischievous, offbeat tone.
The design appears intended to capture a DIY, hand-rendered sans look using faceted, cut-out shapes and purposeful irregularity, trading typographic neutrality for personality. It aims to feel energetic and crafted while remaining recognizable and readable in short, attention-grabbing text.
The most distinctive character comes from the faceted curves (notably in round letters and numerals) and the frequent small notches and bends that simulate cut-paper or carved-letter edges. At larger sizes these details feel expressive; at smaller sizes they may visually clump as the angles and tight apertures compete.
