A condensed, hand-drawn sans with sharply faceted construction that replaces most curves with angled segments. Strokes are thin and even, with slight wobble and irregular joins that create an intentionally rough, sketched rhythm. Proportions are tall and narrow, with compact counters and a generally tight, vertical stance; terminals often end in pointed or clipped angles rather than rounded finishes. Lowercase forms are small relative to the capitals, and numerals follow the same polygonal, cut-paper logic with simplified, slightly uneven silhouettes.
Best used at display sizes where the angular facets and hand-drawn irregularities can read as intentional texture—posters, headlines, short editorial callouts, packaging labels, and event graphics. It can also work for themed applications such as indie crafts, Halloween or fantasy-adjacent designs, and informal signage where character matters more than typographic smoothness.
The overall tone is quirky and homemade, mixing a nervous, scratchy energy with a geometric, shard-like sharpness. It reads as playful and a bit mischievous, suggesting zines, spooky whimsy, or handmade signage rather than corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-lettered, improvised voice while maintaining a consistent, faceted geometry that gives the alphabet a cohesive visual concept. Its narrow, tall proportions and sharp planar shapes prioritize personality and a distinctive silhouette for display typography.
Distinctive facets show up strongly in rounded letters and figures, giving O/Q/0/8 a gemstone-like, planar look, while diagonals in A/K/V/W/X add a jittery, hand-rendered snap. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, improvised texture in words and lines of text.
