A chunky, rounded display face with an inked, handmade silhouette. Strokes show visible wobble and uneven pressure, with occasional nicks, flats, and slight interior irregularities that read like rough printing or marker bleed. Counters are generally small to medium and sometimes asymmetrical, while terminals are blunt and softly curved. Overall rhythm is lively and slightly inconsistent in a deliberate way, with some letters feeling narrower or wider to enhance the hand-drawn character.
Best suited for short, bold statements such as posters, headlines, and title treatments where texture and personality are an asset. It also works well on packaging, stickers, and merchandise graphics that want an approachable handmade flavor. Because the distressed inking reduces precision, it’s less ideal for long passages or small UI text where clarity is critical.
The font projects a friendly, humorous tone with a craft-like, imperfect charm. Its rough edges and bouncy proportions feel informal and approachable, leaning toward a nostalgic, poster-like sensibility rather than a polished corporate voice.
Likely designed to mimic expressive hand lettering with a deliberately rough print/ink texture, prioritizing warmth and impact over strict geometric consistency. The goal appears to be a high-energy display voice that feels crafted and slightly imperfect for thematic, playful typography.
Uppercase forms are compact and blocky, while lowercase letters keep a simple, single-storey construction where applicable, reinforcing a casual, hand-lettered feel. Numerals follow the same soft, inky build and remain highly attention-getting at typical display sizes.
