A chunky, hand-drawn display face with rounded, swollen strokes and soft corners throughout. The outlines feel organic and slightly uneven, with small nicks and dents that create a stamped/inked texture rather than perfectly smooth vector curves. Counters are compact and often squarish or pinched, and terminals tend to end in flattened, bulb-like shapes. The caps are tall and blocky, while the lowercase stays simple and sturdy with short ascenders/descenders and single-storey forms; figures follow the same heavy, friendly construction.
Best suited for attention-grabbing headlines in posters, event promos, and themed campaigns, especially where a playful-spooky or retro-cartoon voice is desired. It also fits packaging, stickers, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a bold, tactile, handmade personality.
The overall tone is playful and slightly eerie, like lettering for a cartoon horror poster or a Halloween treat label. Its handmade wobble and dense color give it a mischievous, nostalgic vibe that reads as fun first, with a shadow of gothic theatrics.
Likely designed as an expressive display font that mimics thick marker or brushed paint lettering, prioritizing personality and impact over neutral readability. The controlled irregularity and compact counters point to an intention to feel handcrafted and slightly distressed while staying legible in short bursts.
The texture-like irregularities are consistent across the set, helping long passages keep a cohesive “printed by hand” rhythm. The heavier joins and tight counters suggest it will look best with generous tracking and at display sizes where the interior shapes can breathe.
