A condensed display face built from soft, swollen strokes that repeatedly pinch and flare, creating a liquid, hourglass rhythm through stems and curves. Counters are small and irregular, often appearing as teardrops or droplet-like holes, and terminals tend to bulb out rather than end crisply. The letterforms keep an overall vertical posture but feel animated by wavering outlines, uneven internal spacing, and organic asymmetry. Round characters (O, C, G) read as inflated shapes with tight apertures, while multi-stem letters (M, W) stack narrow, blunted verticals that accentuate the bouncy texture.
Best suited to short headlines, posters, and branding moments that want a retro-groovy personality. It can work well on album covers, festival or event flyers, playful packaging, and bold display lockups where texture and character are more important than long-form readability.
The font projects a spirited 60s/70s poster energy—quirky, funky, and slightly surreal. Its melty silhouettes and exaggerated pinch points give it a hand-formed, psychedelic flavor that feels more expressive than orderly.
The design appears intended to evoke a psychedelic, era-referential display look through liquid modulation, bulbous terminals, and a tightly condensed footprint, delivering maximum personality in minimal horizontal space.
Because the counters and joins are tight and the silhouettes are highly stylized, the design favors larger sizes where the droplet openings and pinched transitions remain clear. The numerals and punctuation inherit the same swollen, wavy construction, helping maintain a consistent decorative voice across settings.
