A chunky display face with compact proportions and strongly irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feeling, but edges wobble and terminals flare subtly, giving each glyph a slightly squeezed, rubbery silhouette. Counters are small and uneven, curves are lumpy rather than geometric, and verticals often show a gentle inward/outward bow that creates a jittery rhythm across words. The overall texture is dense and dark, with tight internal spacing and a deliberately inconsistent outline that still holds together as a coherent set.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, punchy headlines, event flyers, packaging callouts, and merchandise graphics where a loud, quirky voice is desired. It can also work well for themed applications (e.g., spooky or comedic) and bold titling on covers, album art, or social graphics.
The font projects a mischievous, offbeat personality—part carnival sign, part spooky storybook headline. Its wavy, heavy shapes feel humorous and slightly unsettling at the same time, lending an energetic, low-fi character that reads as intentionally “wrong” in a charming way.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum personality through exaggerated weight and intentionally uneven outlines, prioritizing character and impact over neutrality. Its tightened proportions and dark typographic color suggest it was drawn to grab attention quickly in display contexts while maintaining a cohesive, handcrafted irregularity.
In the sample text, the heavy mass and small counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the uneven details become a feature rather than noise. Numerals and capitals match the same swollen, irregular construction, helping maintain a consistent, poster-like color across mixed content.
