A heavy, blobby display face with softly swollen strokes and irregular contours that mimic liquid ink or melted shapes. Terminals are rounded and bulbous, counters are uneven and sometimes pinched, and the baseline and cap line feel subtly wobbly even though the letters remain upright. Widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with compact forms alongside wider, more open shapes, creating a lively rhythm. The overall construction is simple and legible at display sizes, but intentionally imperfect in edge behavior and internal spacing.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, album covers, festival/event flyers, playful packaging, and display logos where texture and personality matter. It benefits from generous sizing and comfortable tracking so the irregular counters and wavy edges can read clearly.
The font conveys a carefree, psychedelic-leaning retro tone—more funhouse than formal. Its melty, organic silhouettes read as humorous and approachable, with a slightly mischievous, cartoon-like energy that feels hand-shaped rather than engineered.
Designed to inject personality through deliberately uneven, liquid-like letterforms that evoke hand-made signage and retro psychedelia. The emphasis is on expressive silhouette and rhythm over precision, aiming for a distinctive, fun display voice.
Round letters like O and Q appear especially fluid, with irregular bowls and asymmetric counters, while straight-sided letters (E, F, T) keep their skeletons but adopt the same soft, drooping terminals. Numerals follow the same swollen, wavy logic, maintaining visual consistency across the set.
