A wiry, monoline display face built from angular, segmented strokes and open rectangular counters. Forms are generally tall and compressed, with a slight forward-leaning posture and frequent gaps or overlaps where strokes meet, producing a deliberately improvised rhythm. Corners are sharp, terminals are blunt or tapered, and several letters rely on simplified, almost stencil-like construction that makes the set feel intentionally irregular while still maintaining a consistent stroke logic across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used at display sizes where the segmented construction and sharp angles can be appreciated—posters, short headlines, packaging callouts, and branding elements that want an unconventional voice. It can also work for themed interfaces or titles (e.g., games or experimental media) where a handmade, coded aesthetic supports the concept.
The overall tone is quirky and experimental, with a coded, scratch-built feel that reads as playful rather than polished. Its uneven joins and spiky geometry give it an eccentric, slightly cryptic personality suited to attention-grabbing statements and offbeat themes.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-drawn, constructed alphabet—part geometric cipher, part sketchbook lettering—prioritizing distinctive shape language and texture over conventional readability. Its consistent monoline stroke and repeated angular motifs suggest a deliberate system built to feel odd, one-off, and expressive.
In running text, the irregular joins and variable interior openings create a lively texture with noticeable letter-to-letter variety. The lowercase appears closer to small-cap proportions than a traditional text face, and some characters lean on minimalist geometry that emphasizes character over clarity at smaller sizes.
