A monospaced, boxy display face with chunky, uneven strokes and softly rounded corners. The letterforms sit in consistent fixed-width cells, but the contours wobble slightly, producing an intentionally imperfect, hand-cut silhouette. Counters are compact and often squared-off, terminals tend to bluntly end, and curves (notably in C, S, and e) feel inflated and rubbery. The overall rhythm is steady from the monospacing, while the outlines add a lively, irregular texture.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and humor are welcome—posters, playful headlines, packaging accents, stickers, and logo wordmarks. The fixed-width structure can also work for intentionally stylized code-like layouts or titling that benefits from strict character alignment.
The font reads as playful and oddball, with a homemade, slightly mischievous tone. Its inky, wobbly shapes evoke casual signage and a retro, comic-adjacent sensibility, prioritizing personality over polish.
The design appears intended to combine the orderly spacing of a monospaced build with intentionally irregular, hand-drawn contours, creating a distinctive, characterful voice for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms are generally sturdy and upright, while lowercase introduces more character through varied bowls and quirky joins (e.g., the single-storey a and the loopy descenders). Numerals are bold and simplified with the same soft, blunted treatment, giving them strong presence in short strings.
