A chunky, hand-drawn print face with blobby, uneven contours and softly rounded terminals. Strokes look inked or painted, with small nicks and waviness along edges that create a lively texture. Letterforms are mostly upright with simplified geometry, open counters, and slightly irregular proportions; widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, adding a casual rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals share the same heavy, organic silhouette, keeping a consistent, intentionally imperfect color across lines.
Well suited to display applications where personality matters: posters, event flyers, Halloween or horror-comedy themes, playful packaging, and expressive book or album covers. It can work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, titles, UI badges) when set with comfortable spacing to preserve clarity.
The font conveys a playful, mischievous tone with a hint of spooky or gooey character, like hand-rendered lettering for posters and props. Its irregular edges and buoyant shapes feel informal and homemade, leaning toward fun, quirky display rather than polished branding.
The design appears intended to mimic thick hand-inked lettering with an intentionally imperfect outline, prioritizing character and texture over strict consistency. Its forms aim to feel approachable and expressive, delivering a bold, handmade voice for attention-grabbing display typography.
In longer passages the strong, blotty texture creates dense typographic color, so it reads best with generous tracking and line spacing. Round letters (O, C, G) feel especially soft and inflated, while verticals can appear slightly wiggly, reinforcing the handmade effect.
