A chunky, hand-drawn display face with narrow proportions and dense, filled-in strokes. Letterforms are built from rounded, slightly blobby shapes with noticeably uneven edges and small, ink-like bulges that create a lively, imperfect outline. Counters tend to be compact and organic, and joins and terminals often swell or taper subtly, producing a jittery rhythm across words. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a homemade, cutout-like texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, stickers, packaging callouts, and book or zine covers where texture and personality are desirable. It can also work well for children’s media and seasonal or event graphics that benefit from a playful, slightly eerie voice.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a slightly spooky, Halloween-adjacent flavor thanks to the soft, melting contours and irregular silhouettes. It reads as friendly and cartoon-like rather than formal, aiming for character and humor over precision.
The design appears intended to mimic thick marker or brush lettering with intentionally imperfect contours, delivering a bold, characterful look that feels hand-made and expressive. Its narrow stance and irregular outlines suggest a focus on punchy display typography with a whimsical, offbeat personality.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, informal construction, with simplified shapes that prioritize bold presence and quick recognition. Numerals follow the same wobbly, rounded logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for posters and short headlines.
