A chunky, ink-like display face with rounded, swollen strokes and irregular contours. Letterforms feel drawn rather than constructed, with wobbly outlines, uneven stroke distribution, and occasional interior nicks and voids that mimic blotting or worn printing. Counters are generally compact and soft-edged, and terminals tend to bulb out rather than cut cleanly, producing a dense, tactile silhouette. Spacing and proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a loose, handmade rhythm in text.
This font is well suited to posters, headlines, packaging, stickers, apparel graphics, and themed event collateral where a bold, handmade look is desirable. It works especially well for short phrases and titles that can showcase the textured, inky forms without relying on fine-detail readability.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, like a messy marker, stamp, or cartoon title treatment. Its roughened texture adds a lightly rebellious, lo-fi character that reads as casual and expressive rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing display voice that blends cartoon softness with distressed, blotty texture. It aims to feel hand-rendered and imperfect, adding personality and grit to playful or theme-driven typography.
In longer sample text, the heavy color and irregular interior texture are prominent, so the face reads best when allowed generous size and breathing room. The numerals match the same blobby construction and distressed interior detailing, keeping the set visually consistent.
