This typeface uses simplified sans forms built from faceted, angular strokes with deliberately uneven outlines. Curves are rendered as multi-sided shapes, and terminals often end in sharp, chiseled cuts rather than smooth rounding. Stroke thickness stays fairly consistent, but edges wobble subtly, giving a handmade, cut-paper or carved look. Spacing and character widths vary noticeably, creating an energetic rhythm in both caps and lowercase while maintaining clear silhouettes.
Best suited for display applications where texture and personality are desirable, such as posters, packaging, event graphics, album covers, and expressive branding. It can work for short blurbs or captions at comfortable sizes, but the irregular edges and variable widths make it most effective for headlines and logo-like settings rather than dense, small-body text.
The overall tone is lively and offbeat, with a handmade roughness that feels crafty and informal rather than polished or corporate. Its jagged geometry and irregular contours lend a mischievous, slightly punk zine character that reads as expressive and characterful at a glance.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-made lettering through angular, chipped contours and simplified construction, offering an approachable alternative to clean geometric sans styles. It prioritizes distinctive texture and a memorable voice while keeping letterforms recognizable and readable.
Capitals are bold and emblematic with strong geometric presence, while lowercase keeps the same faceted construction and stays legible in short text. Numerals share the same angular language, with distinctive polygonal counters (notably in 0, 6, 8, and 9). The texture becomes more pronounced as lines of text build, producing a busy, animated color on the page.
