This font uses a monoline, hand-drawn stroke with sharp angles and planar facets replacing curves. Letterforms are built from straight segments, wedges, and occasional triangular counters, creating a jagged rhythm with intentionally uneven join behavior and slightly irregular stroke endings. Proportions are compact with a low lowercase profile, and the overall spacing feels open and airy due to the light line weight and frequent internal breaks or notches in the forms.
Best suited to display settings where texture and character matter more than continuous reading—posters, cover art, branding marks, and themed interfaces. It can work well for short headlines or labels, especially when you want an encoded or mythic feel, but the angular constructions and irregularity make it less ideal for long paragraphs or small sizes.
The tone reads as cryptic and rune-like, with a DIY marker/pen energy that feels informal and expressive. Its sharp geometry suggests a coded, fantasy, or underground aesthetic, while the loose consistency keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to emulate a quick, hand-rendered alphabet constructed from straight, faceted strokes—like improvised runes or geometric graffiti. Its consistent angular vocabulary suggests a deliberate system for creating a distinctive, symbolic voice while preserving legibility.
Distinctive triangular motifs appear throughout (notably in several lowercase shapes and punctuation-like marks), giving the alphabet a cohesive “carved” vocabulary. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with simplified, sketch-like constructions that favor recognizability over typographic regularity.
