A hand-drawn display face with chunky, mostly monoline strokes and a distinctly angular, faceted construction. Forms lean on wedge-like terminals, sharp corners, and occasional diamond-shaped counters, giving letters a carved or cut-paper feel. Stroke edges are slightly uneven with subtle wobble and taper, producing an organic texture and irregular rhythm. Proportions are compact and tall, with simplified structures that keep the alphabet cohesive while allowing noticeable glyph-to-glyph quirks.
Works best in short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and themed branding where distinctive letterforms are an asset. It’s especially suitable for fantasy or adventure-flavored applications like game titles, book covers, event graphics, and handcrafted signage-style layouts.
The overall tone feels rune-like and folkloric—suggesting fantasy, myth, and hand-crafted signage rather than polished typography. Its rough-hewn geometry reads as bold and assertive, with a playful, slightly mischievous energy that suits imaginative or thematic settings.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-rendered, carved aesthetic through angular construction and deliberately uneven strokes, prioritizing character and theme over strict regularity. It aims to be immediately recognizable and atmospheric while remaining readable at display sizes.
The texture and irregularity become more apparent in longer text, where spacing and stroke wobble create a lively, animated line. Numerals and capitals share the same angular language, helping the set feel consistent for short statements, titles, and emblematic wordmarks.
