A heavy, rounded display face with soft, blobby contours and an irregular, hand-inked texture. Strokes show noticeable wobble and edge breakup, with occasional interior nicks and inky pooling that makes counters feel slightly mottled. Terminals are broadly rounded and the overall construction favors simple, chunky shapes over strict geometry, producing a lively, uneven rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are an asset: posters, splashy headlines, stickers, social graphics, playful packaging, and children’s or hobby-oriented branding. It can also work for short quotes or captions when a bold, handmade tone is desired, but the distressed inking suggests avoiding long-form text.
The font feels casual and mischievous, like marker lettering or a stamped/printed headline that’s been roughed up in production. Its imperfect edges and saturated black forms add a tactile, DIY energy that reads friendly rather than formal.
Designed to deliver a bold, approachable headline voice with a deliberately rough, inked finish. The intent appears to be a fun, handcrafted look that brings immediacy and character to simple wording and branding elements.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain a consistent bubbly silhouette, while spacing and stroke irregularities create a deliberately imperfect texture at larger sizes. Numerals match the same soft, swollen forms, helping the set feel cohesive for posters and short calls-to-action.
