A monoline sans with deliberately uneven construction and a hand-cut feel. Strokes stay mostly consistent in thickness, while terminals often end in angled, chiseled cuts that create small facets along curves and corners. Bowls and rounds (like O, C, 0, 8) read as slightly polygonal rather than perfectly geometric, and verticals show subtle waviness that adds texture. Proportions are straightforward and readable, with open counters and simple forms, but the overall rhythm is intentionally irregular from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to display use where its hand-made texture can be appreciated—posters, packaging, label work, and short editorial headlines. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from an informal, crafted voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceting and irregular rhythm remain clear.
The texture and faceted terminals give the face a casual, handmade tone—more crafty and mischievous than clinical. It feels friendly and approachable, with a lightly offbeat character that suggests indie, DIY, or playful branding rather than corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate a cut-out or marker-drawn sensibility into a clean, readable sans framework. By keeping stroke weight simple while introducing faceted terminals and slightly polygonal curves, it aims to add personality and tactility without sacrificing basic legibility.
In text, the uneven stroke edges and angled joints become more apparent, creating a lively surface at larger sizes. Numerals echo the same cut-paper geometry, keeping the set visually cohesive. The design’s personality comes from small inconsistencies and chopped terminals rather than from decorative elements or high contrast.
