A heavy, ink-rich display face with rounded, blobby silhouettes and visibly uneven contours that feel hand-drawn. Strokes are thick and low in contrast, with softened corners and slightly wobbly edges that create an organic rhythm across words. Proportions are compact in the bowls and counters, with a tall, prominent lowercase presence and simple, sturdy uppercase forms. Spacing reads a bit loose and airy for such a dark weight, helping counters and inner shapes stay open at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and playful branding where texture and personality are more important than fine detail. It also works well for children’s materials and comic-style titling, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the counters remain clear.
The overall tone is friendly and humorous, with a casual, doodled energy that feels approachable rather than formal. Its chunky shapes and lively irregularity suggest playful signage and expressive, kid-friendly or lighthearted branding.
The font appears designed to deliver an instantly recognizable, handcrafted voice through thick, rounded forms and intentionally uneven edges. Its primary intention is to feel fun and informal while remaining legible in punchy display settings.
The design maintains a consistent marker/brush-like texture through subtle edge variation, giving repeated letters a natural, imperfect feel. Numerals follow the same rounded, chunky construction and read best when given room, as the dense weight can fill in at small sizes.
