This typeface presents a clean sans structure with distinctive, chiseled terminals and subtle wedge-like cuts that create a faceted, hand-worked feel. Strokes are largely monolinear with gentle modulation, and curves (notably in O/C/G) are smoothly rounded while joins and endings often sharpen into angled points. Proportions lean open and spacious, with generous counters and slightly irregular, letter-to-letter shaping that adds character without losing overall coherence. The lowercase combines simple, readable forms with a few idiosyncratic details—such as pointed exits, a single-storey a, and an angular, looped g—giving the texture a lively rhythm in text.
It suits short-form applications where the angular terminal details can be appreciated—headlines, brand marks, poster titling, packaging, and signage. In longer text, it works best at comfortable sizes where the distinctive cut terminals contribute texture without crowding.
The overall tone is modern-folk and slightly whimsical: friendly and approachable, but with an edge of craft-like sharpness. The faceted terminals evoke cut-paper or carved signage, producing a retro display energy that still reads cleanly at larger text sizes.
The design appears intended to blend straightforward sans readability with a distinctive, crafted surface—using consistent angular cuts and pointed terminals to create a recognizable voice for display and identity work while keeping counters open and forms broadly familiar.
Capital forms feel especially constructed and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more motion through angled tails and asymmetric curves. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with rounded bowls contrasted by crisp, diagonal cuts, helping the set feel stylistically unified across letters and figures.
