A chunky, rounded display face with heavily irregular, wobbly outlines that feel like wet ink or soft cut shapes. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with bumpy edge texture and occasional pinched joins that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are small and organic, and terminals tend to be bulbous rather than sharp. Overall spacing reads open and friendly, while the distorted contours keep each letterform visually active and slightly unpredictable.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where texture and personality are the priority. It can also work well for playful branding, kids-oriented graphics, comic-style callouts, or seasonal/event materials that benefit from a roughened, hand-inked look.
The font conveys a playful, mischievous tone with a gritty, imperfect finish. Its soft, blobby forms feel approachable and cartoon-like, while the rough texture adds an offbeat, DIY attitude that can lean spooky or slimey depending on color and context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly silhouette while adding character through intentionally imperfect, distressed contours. It prioritizes expressive texture and a handmade feel over strict geometric regularity, making it a strong choice for themed display typography.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent “puffy” construction, with simplified structures and reduced interior space that emphasize silhouette over detail. The distressed edge treatment remains consistent across letters and numerals, giving blocks of text a cohesive, stamped/printed feel even at larger sizes.
