A heavy, soft-edged display face with a consistent rightward slant and highly irregular, hand-shaped contours. Strokes swell and taper unpredictably, creating a brush-like, cutout silhouette where counters are often reduced or nearly closed, giving many letters a solid, inked-in mass. Proportions are broad and roomy overall, with uneven widths and lively baseline behavior that make the texture feel intentionally unrefined. Terminals tend to be rounded or wedge-like, and joins are lumpy and organic rather than geometric.
Well suited to posters, punchy headlines, packaging, and short display lines where an expressive, cartoon-like voice is desired. It can also work for novelty branding, event graphics, and sticker or merch typography, especially in high-contrast single-color applications.
The font projects a mischievous, comic tone with a strong handmade energy. Its blobby shapes and energetic slant read as friendly and humorous, with a slightly spooky or pulp-illustration edge when set large in black.
The design appears intended to mimic bold, spontaneous brush or marker lettering translated into a solid silhouette, prioritizing personality and motion over strict consistency. Its irregular widths and softened shapes aim to create an approachable, humorous display texture that stands out immediately.
At text sizes the dense interiors and collapsed counters can merge, so it functions best when given generous size and spacing. The numerals and capitals maintain the same chunky, irregular rhythm, supporting attention-grabbing headings more than long-form reading.
