A heavy, hand-drawn display face with chunky, uneven strokes and softly jagged edges that suggest wet ink or brush paint. Forms are rounded and blobby with frequent pinches, dents, and wobble in the contours, creating a lively, imperfect silhouette. Counters are irregular and often small, with variable interior shapes across similar letters, while terminals tend to be tapered or slightly hooked rather than crisply cut. Overall spacing and widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal rhythm and a distinctly handmade texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where texture and personality are assets—posters, headlines, packaging, and illustrated or craft-oriented branding. It also fits themed applications such as Halloween or quirky editorial titles, where the irregular, inky shapes contribute to atmosphere. For extended reading, it works more reliably in brief blurbs or large-size pull quotes.
The font feels mischievous and offbeat, with a crafty, DIY energy that can read as whimsical or slightly eerie depending on context. Its inky lumps and wavering outlines add personality and motion, giving text a playful, storybook-like presence with a touch of macabre charm.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-painted or brush-ink lettering with intentionally imperfect outlines, prioritizing character and texture over uniformity. Its goal is to deliver an expressive, handcrafted voice that feels spontaneous and distinctive in display use.
At text sizes the heavy weight and tight, irregular counters can make long passages feel dense, while larger sizes emphasize the expressive contours and idiosyncratic letterforms. Numerals share the same soft, distorted geometry, keeping the overall tone consistent across alphanumerics.
