A heavy, rounded display face built from chunky, blobby forms with irregular outlines and a lively, hand-drawn feel. Strokes are simplified and upright, with soft corners and uneven contour tension that makes each glyph feel slightly unique. Many letters and numerals include hollowed interior cutouts and highlight-like voids, creating a wet/inky surface effect and strong figure–ground contrast. Counters are often small or partially closed, apertures are tight, and overall spacing reads compact, emphasizing mass and silhouette over fine detail.
Best suited for short, large-size settings where the hollowed details can be appreciated—posters, event titles, seasonal promotions, packaging, stickers, and playful branding. It can also work for logotypes or social graphics where a gooey, cartoon display texture is desired, but it is less appropriate for long text or small sizes due to tight counters and dense silhouettes.
The cutout highlights and puddled shapes give the font a mischievous, gooey tone that reads as playful-horror or Halloween-adjacent rather than formal. It feels like dripping ink, melted candy, or slime, making it energetic and attention-grabbing with a humorous edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a distinctive hollowed, highlight-cutout texture, prioritizing character and silhouette impact over typographic neutrality. Its irregular, organic construction aims to evoke a drippy/inky materiality while remaining legible in headline contexts.
Capital forms are bold and poster-like, while lowercase retains the same bulbous construction and interior knockouts, keeping the texture consistent across cases. The numerals echo the same softened geometry and irregular internal voids, supporting cohesive use in headlines and short numeric callouts.
