Wacky Ablut 7 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Grupi Sans' by Dikas Studio, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, and 'Sicret' and 'Sicret Mono' by Mans Greback (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, heavy display face with rounded, bulging silhouettes and low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are built from simple geometric masses that are repeatedly interrupted by small angular bites, notches, and stepped cut-ins along the outer contours, giving the edges a broken, pixel-chiseled feel. Counters are generally compact and circular, terminals are blunt, and the overall rhythm is intentionally uneven, with irregular edge events creating a jittery texture across words. Numerals match the same swollen proportions and distressed contour treatment for a consistent set.
Best suited for large-format display use such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, album/playlist artwork, and game or streaming graphics where the distressed edge texture can be appreciated. It can also work for logo marks or badges that want a bold, humorous personality, but it’s less appropriate for long reading or small captions where the rough contour detail may interfere with legibility.
The font projects a mischievous, offbeat energy—cartoonish in weight and friendliness, but made edgy by the glitchy, chipped edges. It reads like a playful “corrupted” poster style: bold, attention-seeking, and deliberately imperfect, with a nostalgic arcade/DIY flyer attitude.
The design appears intended to combine a soft, rounded, heavy base with a deliberate set of irregular cutouts to create a distinctive, one-off texture. The goal is likely immediate impact and character—turning simple shapes into a noisy, animated-looking word image that feels playful and experimental rather than polished.
At larger sizes the repeated notch motif becomes a defining graphic texture; at smaller sizes those interruptions can visually merge and create noise, reducing clarity in dense text. The rounded construction keeps the tone friendly even when the contour damage becomes aggressive, making it well suited to short bursts of type.
