A heavy, hand-drawn display face with irregular, wobbly outlines and soft, blobby terminals. Strokes fluctuate subtly and show occasional interior notches and worn-looking cavities, creating a cut-out/inky texture rather than clean, typographic precision. Letterforms are mostly simple and upright with loose spacing, uneven widths, and a slightly jittery baseline rhythm; counters range from open to partially pinched, especially in rounded letters.
Best suited to short-form text where texture is a feature: posters, headlines, event flyers, and punchy packaging callouts. It can also work for album art or themed promotions where a playful, slightly gritty voice is desired; extended body text will feel busy due to the irregular contours.
The overall tone is mischievous and a little eerie, like marker lettering that’s been dragged, stamped, or printed on rough paper. Its deliberate imperfections feel energetic and informal, leaning toward Halloween-style novelty and DIY poster craft rather than polished branding.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand lettering with a distressed print artifact—combining approachable, rounded shapes with intentional roughness to add personality and theme-forward atmosphere.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent distressed treatment, with the lowercase maintaining readable silhouettes but retaining the same rough edges and inconsistent stroke boundaries. Numerals are chunky and animated, with several showing pronounced interior wobble that reinforces the worn, handcrafted character.
