A very heavy, rounded display face built from swollen, blobby forms with strong internal cut-ins that create eye-like counters and dramatic negative-space slits. Strokes fluctuate in thickness within single letters, producing a soft, melting rhythm and irregular joins rather than clean geometric construction. Terminals tend to be bulbous and tapered, with occasional pinched waists and scalloped curves; overall spacing and letter widths feel uneven by design, reinforcing an animated, hand-shaped silhouette. The figures echo the same language, with chunky bodies and distinctive horizontal counter cuts in forms like 6, 8, and 9.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing display text such as posters, headlines, event graphics, album/mixtape covers, playful packaging, and logo wordmarks. It performs especially well when given room to breathe and used at larger sizes where its internal cutouts and wavy contours remain clear.
The font reads as mischievous and offbeat, with a psychedelic, mid-century pop sensibility. Its exaggerated curves and shifting interiors give it a humorous, slightly surreal tone that feels more like character lettering than conventional type.
The design appears intended to prioritize personality and visual surprise over strict regularity, using exaggerated weight, irregular modulation, and repeated counter cutouts to create a cohesive but unconventional texture. It aims to deliver a bold, memorable voice for expressive display typography.
The distinctive horizontal counter “slice” appears repeatedly across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, acting as a unifying motif. At smaller sizes the dense shapes and tight internal openings may visually fill in, while larger settings emphasize the sculptural, poster-like forms.
