A monoline, hand-drawn all-caps and lowercase with noticeably wobbly, blobby stroke edges and rounded terminals that feel inked or melted. Shapes are simplified and slightly uneven, with softly irregular curves, occasional bulges, and inconsistent joins that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Counters tend to be open and organic rather than geometric, and overall widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the improvised, sketch-like construction while remaining readable at display sizes.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and personality are desirable: posters, headlines, album or podcast artwork, playful packaging, and event flyers. It can also work for titles in themed projects (kid-focused, quirky, or lightly spooky), but the irregular outlines make it less appropriate for long body text or small UI sizes.
The font projects a mischievous, eccentric tone—part doodled note, part gooey horror-comedy title. Its wavering outlines and lumpy contours give it a tactile, handmade personality that feels playful, oddball, and slightly eerie without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to emulate an intentionally imperfect, hand-inked look with a whimsical, slightly macabre twist. Its primary goal seems to be delivering character and novelty through irregular contours and animated rhythm rather than typographic neutrality.
Capitals and lowercase share the same roughened outline logic, creating a cohesive, illustrative texture across mixed-case text. Numerals and round letters emphasize the blobby edge treatment, while straight strokes retain subtle waviness, helping the style read consistently across the set.
