A rough-edged, monoline display face with intentionally uneven contours and a hand-cut, slightly angular silhouette. Strokes keep a broadly consistent thickness but wobble subtly, producing choppy corners, irregular curves, and occasional taper-like nicks that feel drawn rather than constructed. Letterforms lean toward simplified, open shapes with quirky geometry—rounds look faceted and imperfect, while straights have small bends and varied terminals—creating a lively, non-mechanical rhythm across both cases and figures.
This font is best suited to display sizes where its irregular stroke edges and quirky construction can be appreciated—posters, headlines, covers, and packaging. It also works well for playful branding, kids-oriented materials, event promos, and zine or craft aesthetics where an intentionally handmade texture is desirable.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a casual, DIY energy that reads as intentionally imperfect. It suggests humor and spontaneity—more zine, craft, or indie poster than formal typography—without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to capture a deliberately imperfect, handmade look while maintaining consistent spacing and structure for easy setting. Its goal is character and charm—an expressive, one-off voice that stands out through uneven contours and energetic rhythm rather than typographic refinement.
Uppercase forms appear slightly more angular and poster-like, while lowercase introduces friendlier, softer rhythms, helping the font feel conversational in short text samples. Numerals echo the same irregular, hand-drawn logic, keeping a cohesive texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
