A chunky, hand-drawn display face with heavily irregular, blobby contours and a consistent rough edge that reads like dense marker or sponge-ink impressions. Strokes are thick and rounded with frequent bumps and scalloped edges, creating a noisy silhouette while keeping counters mostly open and legible. Proportions feel broadly wide with uneven sidebearings and slightly shifting glyph widths, giving lines of text a lively, jittery rhythm. Terminals are soft and smudgy rather than crisp, and the overall construction favors simple, sturdy shapes over precise geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It works well when you want an intentionally messy, tactile look—especially in larger sizes where the rough outline and bumpy rhythm read as a feature rather than noise.
The font conveys a mischievous, scrappy energy—more doodled than designed—suggesting humor, messiness, and a deliberately imperfect attitude. Its rough texture and bouncy spacing give it a cartoonish, DIY tone that can feel both friendly and slightly unruly.
The design intention appears to be an expressive, one-off display style that prioritizes character and texture over typographic neutrality. Its consistent ragged edge and blotted forms suggest a deliberate attempt to mimic handmade lettering and inject a loud, quirky personality into titles and punchy statements.
In longer text samples the texture becomes a strong graphic element, with dense black massing and lively edges dominating the page. The irregularity is consistent enough to feel intentional, but fine details and small counters can start to close up at reduced sizes, making it best when given room to breathe.
