A chunky, irregular display face with a mix of heavy, solid strokes and thin, sketch-like outlining. Many forms appear partially filled or fully solid, while others retain narrow inline counters or doubled contours that create a jittery, hand-drawn rhythm. Curves are bulbous and soft, terminals are rounded, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet an intentionally uneven texture. Numerals and capitals lean toward simplified, poster-like silhouettes, while some letters introduce scribbled interior strokes that suggest a marker or brush pass.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where its bold silhouettes and irregular texture can be appreciated—posters, punchy headlines, album/cover art, playful packaging, and comic or editorial callouts. It works well when you want a loud, handmade look and can allow generous size and spacing for legibility.
The font reads as playful and mischievous, with an inky, homemade energy that feels intentionally imperfect. Its alternating solid and outlined construction adds a lively, offbeat character, evoking doodles, zines, or cartoon title cards rather than formal typography.
The design intention appears to be an expressive, novelty display font that embraces inconsistency as a feature—combining solid, inky shapes with sketchy contours to create a deliberately rough, handcrafted voice.
Counters are often reduced, collapsed, or treated as thin slits, which increases graphic impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The overall color on the page is dense and punchy, with occasional wiry details that add movement and texture across words.
