A slim, monoline sans built from straight strokes and planar facets that substitute for true curves. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional wedge-like cuts, and bowls and rounds are polygonal, giving letters a lightly chiseled silhouette. Proportions are generally compact with a steady cap height and a moderate x-height, while widths vary by character, producing a slightly uneven rhythm. Small irregularities in stroke direction and joins add a casual, hand-drawn texture while maintaining clear, upright construction.
Best suited to display settings where its angular, handcrafted texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and distinctive branding. It can work for short paragraphs or captions when a casual, artful voice is desired, but it is most effective at larger sizes where the faceting and joins remain crisp.
The faceted construction and subtle wobble create a quirky, handmade tone that feels playful and a little eccentric rather than strictly geometric or corporate. It reads like informal display lettering—distinctive and characterful—without leaning into heavy decoration.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean sans foundation with an intentionally imperfect, faceted drawing approach—capturing a hand-rendered feel while staying legible and structurally simple. The polygonal treatment of curves suggests an aim to stand apart from conventional rounded sans forms with a subtly carved, graphic edge.
In text, the angular bowls (notably in rounded letters and numerals) keep counters open and recognizable, though the irregular facets introduce a lively texture across longer lines. The overall color stays light and airy, with consistent stroke weight and a gently uneven cadence that emphasizes its crafted personality.
