A hand-drawn, rounded display face with heavy, blobby strokes and visibly uneven contours. The letterforms keep generally simple skeletons but vary in width and stroke swelling, with soft terminals and occasional pointed nicks that feel like brush or marker drag. A distinctive feature is the speckled, pitted interior texture—small cut-out holes and voids that create a worn, bubbly counter treatment across many glyphs. Overall spacing and rhythm are loose and lively, with imperfect curves and slightly irregular joins that emphasize an organic, crafted look.
Best suited to short display settings where the speckled interior texture can be appreciated—posters, title treatments, packaging, and themed invitations. It can also work for logos or labels that want a handmade, slightly eerie/quirky personality, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The texture and wobbly outlines give it a playful, offbeat tone with a hint of macabre or Halloween-style charm. It reads like something stamped, inked, or painted for a themed event—casual, friendly, and a little mischievous rather than polished or formal.
Designed to deliver a bold hand-rendered feel with built-in surface wear, combining rounded, approachable letterforms with a deliberately imperfect, pitted texture for instant character in themed display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain consistent texture and rounded construction, supporting mixed-case setting for headlines. Numerals match the same blobby proportions and interior pitting, keeping the set visually cohesive. The distressed voids are prominent enough to become part of the voice, especially at larger sizes.
