A slanted, irregular display face with angular, chiseled contours and uneven stroke endings that feel rough-cut rather than smoothly drawn. Letterforms mix straight segments with occasional rounded counters, and many terminals break into small nicks or wedge-like points, creating a lively, scratchy edge. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with a slightly condensed, forward-leaning rhythm and a generally consistent stroke thickness. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted construction, keeping a cohesive, intentionally imperfect texture across the set.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where a quirky voice is desired. It can work for playful packaging, event promos, stickers, or game/UI titles where texture and character help differentiate a brand moment. For longer passages, it’s most effective when set large with generous spacing to let the irregular edges breathe.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, with a handmade, slightly chaotic energy that reads as wry and attention-seeking. Its slanted stance and jagged details give it a spirited, comic tilt—more mischievous than formal—suggesting motion and personality over polish.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, one-off personality through faceted strokes and deliberately imperfect finishing, prioritizing visual character and motion over typographic neutrality. It aims to feel hand-cut and spontaneous while still maintaining enough consistency to function as a cohesive display alphabet.
In text, the uneven terminals and variable widths create a bouncy, textured line that’s best appreciated at larger sizes. The distinctive, cut-in corners and notched joins become a key identifying feature, while the slant helps maintain momentum in headlines and short phrases.
