A narrow, upright display face with irregular, hand-hewn contours and a chiseled, faceted look. Strokes show uneven flare and subtle tapering, with kinked joins, sharp corners, and occasional concave bites that create a slightly ragged silhouette. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with inconsistent widths and idiosyncratic terminals that give the alphabet a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters tend to be tight and angular, and the overall color reads dark and punchy despite the non-uniform outlines.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, and titles where its irregular texture can be appreciated. It can add personality to packaging, labels, and book or game covers, and works well for themed event promotions that want a handcrafted, quirky voice. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain readability.
The font communicates a playful, oddball energy—part handmade sign, part storybook eccentricity. Its deliberate wonkiness feels mischievous and characterful, suggesting humor, craft, and a slightly spooky or rustic edge without leaning fully into traditional historical styles.
The design appears intended to inject personality through controlled irregularity—mixing condensed display proportions with carved, uneven edges to create a distinctive, one-off voice. It favors expressiveness and texture over strict consistency, aiming to look handmade and intentionally unconventional.
Uppercase forms are tall and condensed with prominent angled cuts, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, simple structure but adds distinctive notch-like terminals and irregular shoulders. Numerals are similarly faceted, with an especially angular 0 and asymmetrical details that emphasize the handcrafted tone.
