A jagged, hand-drawn display face built from angular strokes and boxy counters, with intentionally uneven outlines and subtly wobbly baselines. Forms lean on squared-off curves, narrow apertures, and abrupt terminals, creating a chiseled, cut-paper feel rather than smooth geometry. Caps are tall and monolinear in spirit but with visible stroke irregularities; lowercase echoes the same construction with simplified bowls and a notably narrow, upright rhythm. Spacing feels variable, reinforcing the improvised, sketch-like texture in text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, merch, and packaging where its irregular texture can be a feature. It also fits editorial accents for alternative publications, event promos, and album or game graphics, especially when you want a deliberately odd, handcrafted voice.
The overall tone is quirky and slightly mischievous, with a DIY roughness that reads as offbeat and energetic rather than refined. Its sharp corners and uneven contours add a tense, zany edge that can suggest oddball humor, alternative culture, or a “handmade sign” attitude.
The design appears intended to break away from polished sans or serif conventions by emphasizing quirky construction, uneven stroke behavior, and angular simplification. It prioritizes personality and a memorable silhouette over neutral readability, aiming for a one-off decorative impact in display typography.
Distinctive square counters (notably in rounded letters) and kinked joins make the silhouette highly recognizable at display sizes. The digit set follows the same angular logic, with boxy shapes and uneven stroke endings that keep the texture consistent across letters and numbers.
