A chunky, heavy display face with rounded, swollen forms and deliberately irregular contours. Strokes look brushy and cut with jagged nicks, creating a torn-ink edge quality and slightly inconsistent silhouettes across letters. Counters are small and often partly collapsed, giving many glyphs a dense, stamp-like mass. The overall rhythm is lumpy and energetic, with simplified construction, short joins, and occasional asymmetry that reads as hand-drawn rather than geometric.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, event titles, sticker graphics, apparel, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for playful horror/Halloween themes, DIY graphics, and editorial openers where texture and attitude are desirable.
The font projects a mischievous, scrappy attitude—more street-poster and zine than polished branding. Its rugged edges and compact interiors add grit and immediacy, while the soft, rounded bulk keeps the tone friendly and cartoonish rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to mimic thick paint or marker lettering that has been stamped or dragged, prioritizing texture, character, and visual punch. By shrinking counters and roughening edges, it creates a solid, inky presence that reads quickly and feels handmade.
The dense fill and reduced interior openings make it most effective at larger sizes, where the rough perimeter texture becomes a feature and letter shapes stay distinct. In longer lines the irregular widths and heavy color create a strong visual block, emphasizing impact over extended readability.
