A handmade-looking sans with monoline strokes and deliberately irregular, faceted contours. Curves are built from short angled segments, creating choppy bowls and polygonal rounds (notably in C, G, O, Q, and 8). Terminals are blunt and uneven, with small kinks and slight overshoots that give the outlines a cut-paper or whittled feel. Proportions are compact and variable from glyph to glyph, with simplified construction and open counters that keep the texture airy in text.
Best used at display sizes where the irregular faceting and handmade edges can be appreciated—posters, album art, book covers, packaging, and short editorial headlines. It can work for brief UI labels or signage when a casual, crafted tone is desired, but the uneven outlines are more impactful and legible when not set too small.
The overall tone is quirky and informal, with a primitive, hand-crafted character that reads as playful rather than polished. Its jittery rhythm and angular “carved” curves add personality and a lightly eccentric voice suited to expressive, non-corporate messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-drawn or hand-cut lettering while keeping the clarity of a simple sans structure. By segmenting curves into angled strokes and preserving a monoline build, it delivers an expressive, artisanal texture without becoming overly decorative.
Uppercase forms skew toward geometric simplicity with occasional asymmetry (e.g., a narrow crossbar on A and a notched, segmented G), while lowercase remains straightforward and readable but keeps the same faceted drawing style. Numerals echo the polygonal logic, especially the looped 8 and the rounded-yet-segmented 0 and 9, reinforcing a consistent handmade texture across the set.
