A light, monolinear slab-serif with uneven, hand-drawn contours and a deliberately irregular rhythm. Strokes stay fairly consistent in thickness, while terminals and serifs appear square-cut yet slightly warped, producing a chiseled, sketch-like edge. Counters are open and somewhat angular, with frequent asymmetries and gentle wobble in verticals and horizontals. Uppercase forms feel broad and roomy, while lowercase shows compact, simplified constructions with distinctive, non-uniform widths across characters.
Best suited to display roles such as titles, posters, packaging, and editorial headings where its handmade slab character can set mood quickly. It can also work for themed interfaces or in-world typography (e.g., games, exhibits, craft brands) where an intentionally irregular, human touch is desirable.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, with a handmade personality that reads as folkloric or storybook rather than technical. Its roughened edges and quirky proportions add charm and character, evoking labels, fantasy props, or casual hand-lettering with a slab-serif backbone.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif structure with the spontaneity of hand lettering, prioritizing personality and texture over strict geometric consistency. Its broad, sturdy lettershapes and uneven detailing suggest an expressive display face meant to feel crafted and slightly fantastical.
In text settings, the irregular outlines create a lively texture and noticeable sparkle, especially where sharp corners and squared serifs repeat. Numerals and capitals are highly characterful and may draw attention as display elements, while longer passages maintain readability best at comfortable sizes where the small kinks and uneven joins don’t clog.
