A hand-drawn, all-caps-and-lowercase design with angular, faceted strokes and visibly irregular contours. Terminals often taper to points or blunt wedges, and curves are approximated with many small straight segments, creating a chiseled, polygonal feel in rounds like C, O, and 0. Stroke weight is generally consistent but intentionally uneven in edge quality, with slight wobble and asymmetry contributing to a lively texture. Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and the overall rhythm reads intentionally unpredictable rather than typographically strict.
Best suited for short display settings where its irregular texture can be appreciated—posters, titles, packaging callouts, album artwork, and playful branding accents. It can also work for themed event graphics or craft-style signage where a handmade, imperfect voice is desirable; for long passages, its busy outlines may be more effective in larger sizes with generous leading.
The font conveys a playful, offbeat personality—like a sketchy marker or carved sign rendered with deliberate roughness. Its odd angles and uneven geometry create a whimsical, slightly mischievous tone that feels informal and characterful rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate an intentionally rough, handmade construction—part sketch, part carved—prioritizing personality and visual texture over typographic regularity. Its faceted curves and uneven stroke edges suggest a deliberate attempt to feel one-off and expressive while remaining broadly legible.
Lowercase forms are simplified and sometimes feel small-cap-like in construction, with compact bowls and minimal detailing (e.g., single-storey a and g). Diagonals and joins are sharp and graphic, giving words a spiky silhouette at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with especially angular 2 and 3 and polygonal 8/9 shapes.
