A tall, monoline sans with crisp, angular joins and flattened curves that read as subtle facets rather than smooth arcs. Strokes keep an even weight while terminals shift between blunt cuts and slightly softened ends, giving an informal, drawn feel. Proportions are condensed with generous internal space, and the overall rhythm is intentionally a bit irregular, like a careful marker or pen rendering that preserves small asymmetries. Capitals stay simple and airy, while lowercase forms add personality through quirky construction and lively, narrow counters.
Best suited for short to medium display text where its quirky rhythm and faceted geometry can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, brand marks, and book or album covers. It can also work for pull quotes or UI headings when you want a personable, unconventional voice rather than strict neutrality.
The tone is witty and idiosyncratic—more zine-like and personable than corporate. Its faceted curves and uneven cadence suggest a handmade, experimental sensibility that feels modern and slightly mischievous without becoming noisy.
Likely designed to merge a clean sans skeleton with a deliberately hand-made, faceted drawing style, producing a distinctive display face that feels light on its feet and characterful. The goal appears to be recognizability and charm through angular curve treatment and subtle irregularity, while keeping letterforms open and readable.
Numerals and punctuation keep the same tall, pared-back construction, helping the font maintain a consistent color in mixed text. The distinctive angularity shows most in round letters, where corners and planar segments replace fully smooth bowls, creating a recognizable texture at display sizes.
