A very heavy, rounded display face with irregular, hand-drawn contours and an inked, blobby silhouette. The letterforms have bouncy proportions with a slight forward slant and a casual, uneven rhythm that feels intentionally imperfect rather than geometric. Interiors and counters show scattered “bite” marks and speckling, creating a worn-print texture; terminals are soft and swollen, with simplified shapes that stay legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, punchy text such as posters, event titles, product packaging, stickers, and apparel graphics where texture is a feature, not a distraction. It also works for playful branding, kid-oriented materials, and social graphics that want a bold handmade look.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, mixing cartoon friendliness with a rough, grunge-like patina. It reads like bold marker lettering that’s been distressed or screen-printed on a well-used surface, giving it a lively, informal voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, cartoonish structure, then add character through deliberate distressing and ink-like imperfections. It aims to evoke analog printing and hand-lettered energy while staying readable in display settings.
The texture is present both along the edges and inside strokes, so it will visually intensify when reversed out or placed on busy backgrounds. The chunky forms and rounded corners keep the mood approachable, while the irregular cutouts add a tactile, analog feel.
