A heavy, hand-drawn print style with chunky strokes and noticeably irregular, wavy contours. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with rounded corners and softly bulging curves, giving counters an organic, slightly uneven shape. Stems and horizontals vary subtly in thickness and edge texture, creating a lively rhythm without breaking legibility. The set reads as all-caps–friendly but maintains a consistent, compact lowercase with simple forms and minimal detailing.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headers, product packaging, and sticker-style graphics where bold shape and personality matter more than typographic precision. It can also work for comic-style captions or playful signage when set at medium to large sizes.
The font feels playful and informal, like marker or brush lettering pressed firmly onto the page. Its uneven edges and buoyant shapes add a humorous, approachable tone that can also skew gritty or DIY depending on context and color.
Likely designed to deliver an unmistakably handmade, punchy look with strong fill and imperfect edges, capturing the energy of hand-painted or marker-drawn lettering while staying readable in display settings.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and forgiving, with a hand-set feel rather than strict geometric fitting. The figures are bold and simple, matching the letterforms’ rounded, slightly lumpy construction for cohesive display use.
