A heavy, hand-drawn display face with rounded, blobby letterforms and noticeably irregular contours. Strokes look marker-like, with wobbly outlines and uneven interior counters that create a noisy, textured silhouette. Terminals are generally soft and bulbous rather than sharp, and curves show small dents and ripples that add an intentionally messy rhythm. Spacing and widths vary across glyphs, reinforcing an informal, handcrafted feel while keeping a consistent overall weight and presence.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, product labels, and attention-grabbing headlines where texture and personality are desirable. It can work for themed uses (especially spooky or playful concepts) and bold callouts, but the busy interiors and irregular edges make it less ideal for long passages or small sizes.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a slightly eerie, ink-splattered edge. Its irregular outlines and puffy proportions suggest comic, Halloween, and DIY poster energy rather than refined editorial typography.
The design appears intended to mimic thick hand lettering made with a marker or brush pen, then deliberately roughened to add grit and movement. The goal is to deliver a strong silhouette with an expressive, imperfect texture that feels human and energetic.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same chunky, rounded construction, keeping text visually cohesive in mixed case. Numerals follow the same soft, uneven drawing style, with simplified shapes and rough interior detailing that reads like distressed fill rather than clean counters.
