A chunky, rounded display face with soft, blobby strokes and an intentionally uneven rhythm. Forms are built from swelling curves and tapered joins that create a gently wavy, hand-made silhouette. Counters tend to be small and irregular, with terminals finishing in bulbous, teardrop-like ends. Overall spacing and character widths vary noticeably, contributing to a loose, animated texture in running text.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where character and texture are the priority. It fits music, arts, and event materials, as well as playful packaging or branding accents that benefit from a soft, retro display tone. For longer passages, larger sizing and generous spacing help preserve clarity.
The font conveys a lighthearted, retro energy with a mellow psychedelic undercurrent. Its bouncy outlines and soft corners feel approachable and humorous rather than sharp or technical, lending a casual, expressive voice to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-shaped, era-referential display look—prioritizing personality, movement, and organic irregularity over strict uniformity. Its varied widths, swollen strokes, and rounded terminals aim to create an instantly recognizable, upbeat typographic voice.
In the sample text the lively contours create strong texture and a distinctive “wiggle,” which reads best at larger sizes. The numerals share the same inflated, curvy construction, keeping the set visually cohesive for posters and titles that mix letters and numbers.
