This font uses tall, condensed proportions with irregular, angular construction that suggests hand-cut or marker-drawn forms. Strokes are generally straight and faceted, with abrupt corners, occasional inward notches, and slightly inconsistent angles that keep each glyph feeling individually drawn while still cohesive. Counters tend to be small and polygonal, and curves are largely replaced by chamfered bends; terminals often end in sharp, tapered or clipped shapes rather than rounded finishes. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a lively rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase, while maintaining a clear baseline and upright stance.
Best suited for display sizes where its jagged geometry and variable widths can be appreciated—such as posters, headlines, packaging, album art, and playful game or event graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when an intentionally handmade, offbeat voice is desired, but is less appropriate for long-form reading where the irregular rhythm may reduce comfort.
The tone is energetic and slightly mischievous, with a rough-hewn, DIY character that reads as expressive rather than polished. Its angular, cut-paper feel can evoke indie posters, spooky-fun themes, or offbeat humor without leaning into ornate decoration.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, handcrafted sans voice using faceted, angular strokes and controlled inconsistency. It emphasizes personality, motion, and memorable silhouettes over typographic neutrality, aiming for strong impact in short bursts of text.
Lowercase forms are simplified and sometimes approach small-cap behavior, with single-storey shapes and compact apertures that prioritize silhouette over conventional calligraphic detail. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with distinctive, uneven geometry that helps them stand out in display contexts.
