A heavy, rounded display face built from soft, inflated strokes and bulb-like terminals. The outlines feel hand-shaped and slightly irregular, with subtle swelling and pinched joins that create an organic rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency. Counters are small and often teardrop or oval, while curves dominate and corners are largely avoided. Proportions vary from letter to letter, with a lively baseline feel and occasional quirky details (such as a single-storey ‘a’ and a looping ‘g’) that reinforce a crafted, psychedelic silhouette.
Best suited for large display settings such as posters, festival and party promotion, album or playlist artwork, playful packaging, and attention-grabbing headlines. It also works well for short phrases, badges, and logo-style wordmarks where a warm, retro personality is the primary goal.
The font projects a cheerful, freewheeling attitude with strong 60s–70s poster energy. Its squishy forms and uneven pulse read as friendly and humorous, leaning toward pop, music, and counterculture cues rather than corporate neutrality.
Likely drawn to evoke a vintage, psychedelic display look through exaggerated weight, soft corners, and an intentionally irregular, hand-molded texture. The design prioritizes character and impact over neutrality, aiming to feel fun, expressive, and immediately recognizable.
At smaller sizes the tight counters and thick strokes can fill in, so it reads best when given generous size and spacing. The numerals share the same inflated look, with especially bold, rounded shapes that keep the tone consistent across headlines and short callouts.
