A condensed, heavy display face with irregular, hand-drawn contours and an inline cut running through most strokes, creating a hollowed, marker-like look. Stems and bowls are thick but uneven, with wobbly edges and small shape variations that make the rhythm feel organic rather than geometric. Counters are often tight and slightly misshapen; curves appear lumpy and the joins can look pinched or swollen, reinforcing the drawn-by-hand construction. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow stance, while numerals echo the same chunky silhouettes and interior channel.
Works best for short, bold statements in posters, covers, packaging, and promotional graphics where a handmade voice is desirable. It can also suit playful branding accents, stickers, and social media headlines, especially when paired with a simpler text companion.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, with a doodled, zine-like personality that feels informal and attention-grabbing. The inline detail adds a playful “outlined fill” effect that reads as crafty and slightly retro, more expressive than polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-inked display look with added depth and character from the inline carving, prioritizing personality and impact over strict typographic regularity.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the inline channel remains distinct; at smaller sizes the interior cut and rough edges may visually fill in. The texture is consistent across the set, giving words a lively, jittery color on the line.
