A chunky, hand-drawn display face with irregular silhouettes and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes look brushy and blunted, with wobbling verticals and lopsided curves that vary from glyph to glyph. Many counters are reduced or fully collapsed into solid shapes, giving letters a dense, cutout-like presence. Terminals are rough and jagged in places, and the overall spacing feels loose and informal, emphasizing the font’s variable, handmade texture.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, product labels, and promotional graphics where texture and personality are the main goal. It can also work well for album art, zines, and playful branding applications, especially when set large enough for its rough contours to read clearly.
The tone is mischievous and crafty, leaning toward a DIY, offbeat charm rather than polished refinement. Its heavy, inked-in shapes and unpredictable contours add a slightly gritty, comic energy that reads as fun, weird, and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to mimic thick brush lettering or inked cutouts with deliberately imperfect contours and simplified interiors. It prioritizes strong visual mass and character over conventional legibility, aiming to deliver a bold, handmade display voice.
Round forms frequently appear as near-solid blobs, and several letters rely on simplified interior structure, boosting impact at larger sizes while reducing detail at smaller sizes. The numeral set matches the same rough, painted construction and maintains the font’s bold, irregular color on the page.
