A compact, right-leaning sans with thick, irregular strokes and a distinctly faceted, hand-cut edge quality. Curves are simplified into angled segments, producing polygonal bowls and corners rather than smooth arcs, while terminals often end in blunt wedges. The rhythm is lively and slightly uneven, with small variations in stroke contour and internal counters that keep the texture from feeling mechanical. Forms stay largely monolinear in impression, but with subtle thick–thin shifts created by the angled construction and slanted stress.
This font performs best in display settings where its faceted stroke edges and slanted stance can be appreciated—posters, headlines, title cards, packaging, and brand marks that want a handmade, energetic tone. It can also work for short bursts of text in signage or social graphics, especially when strong contrast against the background is needed.
The overall tone is playful and scrappy, like lettering cut from paper or painted quickly with a flat brush. Its jittery, angular energy reads casual and attention-seeking rather than formal, giving headlines a cheeky, vintage-leaning character. The slant adds momentum and a sense of motion, reinforcing an upbeat, informal voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, hand-crafted sans voice by replacing smooth curves with angular cuts and embracing controlled irregularity. The goal is legibility at a glance with a distinctive, crafted texture, prioritizing character and impact over neutrality in extended text.
Uppercase shapes are simplified and sturdy, while lowercase brings more idiosyncrasy—especially in curved letters—enhancing the handmade feel. Numerals share the same chiseled geometry and maintain strong presence at display sizes. In paragraphs, the dense stroke color and busy edge texture become a dominant texture, making it better suited to short runs than long reading.
