A lively, hand-drawn display face built from uneven, marker-like strokes that frequently split into a dark outer mass with irregular hollowed counters and interior cutouts. Letterforms are upright but intentionally inconsistent: curves wobble, joins bulge, and terminals vary from rounded to blunt, creating a jittery rhythm. Contrast is pronounced in places where strokes swell and pinch, and many glyphs read as semi-outlined or carved out, especially in rounded forms and bowls. Proportions are variable across the set, with compact lowercase and occasional tall ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a casual, sketchy texture.
Best suited to short-form display settings where its irregular outlines and hollowed details can remain clear—posters, chapter titles, book covers, event flyers, packaging, and playful branding. It can also work for comics or kids-oriented graphics, especially when a handmade, quirky voice is desired rather than a neutral text texture.
The overall tone is mischievous and storybook-like, with a slightly eerie edge from the hollowed, ink-puddled shapes. It feels improvised and characterful rather than polished, suggesting handmade signage, doodles, or playful horror-comedy titling.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive hand lettering with carved-out or knocked-out interior shapes, combining bold black presence with airy hollows for extra visual flavor. Its inconsistent stroke behavior and variable proportions prioritize personality and texture over strict typographic uniformity.
The alphabet shows deliberate idiosyncrasies between similar structures (e.g., bowls and diagonals don’t repeat mechanically), and numerals echo the same blobby outlines and interior cutouts. In text, the texture becomes pleasantly noisy, with the hollow details creating a porous, “ink-and-air” look that stands out on light backgrounds.
