A monoline, hand-drawn sans with slightly irregular rhythm and faceted geometry. Strokes keep a consistent thickness while corners frequently break into soft, rounded joins, creating an angular-yet-friendly silhouette. Proportions vary by glyph, with compact bowls, open apertures, and simplified construction that favors straight segments and quick diagonals over smooth curves. The overall texture feels lively and informal, with small asymmetries that read as intentional marker-like drawing rather than mechanical precision.
Best suited for short to medium-length display text where its handmade texture and angular forms can be appreciated—posters, book covers, packaging, event graphics, and titles. It can also work well for themed interfaces (e.g., games or fantasy-adjacent UI) and casual branding where a crafted, informal tone is desired.
The font conveys a playful, offbeat character with a hint of rune-like or crafted signage energy. Its uneven, sketchy regularity gives it a human voice—approachable and a little mischievous—suited to settings that benefit from personality more than polish.
The design appears intended to mimic quick hand-lettering with a consistent pen width while introducing a distinctive faceted geometry for recognizability. It prioritizes personality, thematic flavor, and strong silhouette over typographic neutrality or strict repetition.
Distinctive diamond and polygon motifs appear in several forms, reinforcing the faceted theme across both uppercase and lowercase. Spacing and letterfit look intentionally loose and variable, emphasizing an organic, hand-lettered flow in continuous text.
