A chunky, soft-edged display face with rounded counters and heavily irregular outlines that read like stamped ink or a worn marker. Strokes are thick and slightly tapering in places, with wobbly terminals, small nicks, and subtle interior speckling that gives each glyph a rough-printed texture. The overall construction is simplified and friendly, with generous curves, compact joins, and a slightly uneven baseline/sidebearing feel that reinforces the handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, event titles, product packaging, stickers, and bold social graphics. The distressed detailing and heavy weight make it particularly effective at display sizes, while longer paragraphs may feel dense and busy due to the textured edges and dark color.
The font conveys a mischievous, crafty energy—more DIY and zine-like than polished. Its roughened shapes and bouncy proportions feel informal and expressive, suggesting humor, halloweeny spook, or offbeat indie attitude while staying approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing voice with deliberate roughness—capturing the look of imperfect printing or hand-rendered lettering. It prioritizes character and texture over precision, aiming for an expressive, themed display style that feels lived-in and tactile.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent blobby silhouette, with single-storey forms in the lowercase and broadly circular bowls throughout. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, designed to hold up at larger sizes where the distressed texture becomes part of the personality.
