A monoline, hand-drawn sans with angular, faceted construction and softly rounded stroke ends. Letterforms lean on straight segments and sharp joins, often simplifying curves into polygonal shapes; the O/0 becomes a diamond-like lozenge and several round letters take on open, angular bowls. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven, lively rhythm, while overall proportions remain compact with clear, sturdy stems and short cross-strokes. The lowercase is simple and upright, with single-storey forms and a minimal, graphic approach to counters and terminals.
Best suited to short display settings where its angular, rune-like shapes can be appreciated—titles, poster headlines, game interfaces, and fantasy or adventure themed packaging. It can also work for logos and badges where a handcrafted, symbolic feel is desirable, but its irregular rhythm is less suited to long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels rune-like and inscribed, mixing a primitive, carved quality with a friendly looseness. Its quirky geometry and slightly irregular rhythm suggest fantasy, puzzles, or adventurous storytelling rather than corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke an engraved or runic inscription through faceted geometry and lozenge-like rounds, while keeping a casual, hand-drawn friendliness via monoline strokes and rounded terminals. It prioritizes distinctive character and thematic atmosphere over strict typographic regularity.
Distinctive diamond-shaped rounds and zig-like diagonals give the alphabet a symbolic, emblematic character that stays consistent across letters and numerals. The texture on a line of text reads as intentionally informal, with a consistent stroke weight but deliberately uneven glyph widths that add personality.
