A condensed, angular sans with a hand-cut look and subtly irregular contours. Strokes keep an even thickness while terminals often taper or bite into the outline, creating small notches and wedge-like ends. Curves are faceted rather than smooth, and verticals dominate, giving the design a tall, wiry rhythm. Spacing appears slightly uneven in a deliberate way, reinforcing the crafted, imperfect texture in both caps and lowercase.
This font suits display typography where texture and personality are desirable: posters, headlines, titles, packaging, and cover work. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when a handmade, edgy tone is intended, but its irregular detailing is better suited to larger sizes than dense body text.
The overall tone is quirky and slightly mischievous, with a handmade, DIY edge. Its jagged cuts and narrow build suggest a playful “spooky poster” or indie zine sensibility rather than a neutral, corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, hand-carved sans voice—tall, economical in width, and deliberately roughened to add character. It prioritizes visual flavor and a crafted feel over strict geometric smoothness.
Distinctive, characterful shapes show up in letters like the angular S, the narrow, pointed M/W, and the single-storey lowercase forms. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with sharp bends and compressed proportions that read best at display sizes.
