A chunky, soft-cornered display face with rounded, blobby silhouettes and a lively forward slant. Strokes swell and pinch unevenly, creating a wavy rhythm with pronounced terminals and occasional teardrop-like ends. Counters are small and irregular, and the overall drawing leans on thick masses with subtle internal shaping rather than crisp, linear structure. Letterforms feel loosely constructed and elastic, with noticeable width variation from glyph to glyph that reinforces the informal, hand-shaped look.
Best used for display settings where character is the priority: posters, event flyers, album or playlist artwork, playful packaging, and standout headlines. It can also work for short brand marks or wordmarks that benefit from a retro, soft-edged presence, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The tone is upbeat and nostalgic, channeling a freeform, 60s–70s poster energy. Its exaggerated curves and squishy weight give it a friendly, slightly mischievous personality that reads more expressive than serious. The overall effect is attention-grabbing and theatrical, suited to designs that want warmth and flair.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic psychedelic poster vibe through heavy, rounded forms, bouncy curves, and intentionally irregular shaping. Its emphasis is on expressive silhouette and visual rhythm, prioritizing personality and impact over strict geometric consistency.
In text, the dense black shapes create a strong headline color, while tight counters and idiosyncratic curves make it better suited to larger sizes than extended reading. The numerals match the same swollen, soft style and keep the set feeling cohesive for posters and short calls-to-action.
