A sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut feel: strokes are generally even but show lively modulation through angled terminals, notches, and slightly uneven curves. Counters are open and rounded, while many joins and endings resolve into sharp, wedge-like cuts that create a distinctive, chiseled silhouette. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a bouncy rhythm; round letters (O, C, G) are broad and smooth, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) read as crisp and energetic. Numerals follow the same language, with simplified shapes and angled finishing strokes that keep the set cohesive.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters more than neutrality, such as headlines, posters, packaging, titles, and branding marks. It can work for short UI or social captions when a casual, playful voice is desired, but it is most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the angled terminals and quirky shapes remain clear.
The overall tone is informal and characterful, like a playful display face inspired by hand lettering or cut-paper signage. Its mix of soft bowls and sharp, quirky terminals gives it a slightly mischievous, retro-leaning personality that feels friendly rather than strict or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, approachable sans voice with a handcrafted edge—combining rounded construction with deliberate angular cuts to create energy and memorability in branding and display typography.
Spacing and sidebearings appear to contribute to an uneven, animated texture in text, which reinforces the handmade effect. The lowercase includes single-storey forms and compact shapes that keep words chunky and graphic, especially at larger sizes.
