A lively, hand-drawn display face with rounded, blobby outlines and irregular, hollowed cutouts that pepper the strokes like bubbles or pocks. Stems and bowls are generally monolinear in feel but vary subtly in thickness, with softened terminals and occasional wobble that keeps the rhythm informal. Counters are open and generous, while the internal knockouts add a porous texture across nearly every glyph. Proportions are slightly condensed in places, with a compact lowercase and clear, upright construction overall.
Best suited for short-form settings where the hollowed texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging, stickers, and branded graphics. It also fits children’s materials and seasonal or novelty themes (especially spooky or slime-adjacent concepts). For long passages or small UI text, the interior cutouts may reduce clarity.
The perforated, inky shapes read as mischievous and tactile—somewhere between cartoon lettering and a lightly eerie, ooze-like texture. It conveys a playful “creature feature” energy that feels fun rather than aggressive, with a nostalgic, handmade charm.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable, textured silhouette—combining friendly rounded letterforms with decorative internal voids to create a bold, characterful display voice.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, making the font’s identity strongly tied to its internal holes and irregular edges. The dotted detailing can visually fill in at small sizes, while at larger sizes it becomes a prominent graphic feature.
