A heavy, blobby display face with soft, rounded terminals and a distinctly wavy silhouette. Strokes swell and pinch irregularly, creating cut-in notches and inward curves that make counters feel organic rather than geometric. The letterforms lean on simplified, almost serifless constructions, but with frequent bulb-like feet and tops that exaggerate verticals and give the rhythm a bouncy, hand-shaped feel. Spacing and sidebearings read uneven by design, reinforcing its animated texture in words and lines.
Best suited to display use where its irregular rhythm can be appreciated—posters, album/playlist artwork, festival or club promotions, packaging, and expressive editorial headings. It works especially well for short phrases and brand marks that benefit from a bold, nostalgic personality rather than typographic neutrality.
The font projects a lighthearted, trippy retro tone—more lava-lamp than classical. Its undulating outlines and inflated forms feel mischievous and cartoon-adjacent, suggesting 60s–70s poster energy and a relaxed, party-friendly attitude.
The design appears intended to evoke a retro, psychedelic feel through exaggerated swelling strokes, soft contours, and intentionally uneven modulation. Its consistent “liquid” shaping across the alphabet suggests a focus on creating a distinctive graphic voice for attention-grabbing display settings.
At text sizes the interior pinches and sculpted counters become the defining detail, producing a strong sparkle in headlines but a busy texture in longer reading. Numerals and capitals match the same swollen, wavy grammar, keeping the set visually consistent for short, punchy messaging.
