A rounded, hand-drawn print face with thick, uneven strokes and softly blunted terminals. Contours wobble subtly and edges look inked or stamped, with occasional nicks and small counters that feel imperfect by design. Proportions are compact and slightly squat, with simplified forms and an overall bouncy rhythm; spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the informal, handmade texture. Numerals and capitals follow the same lumpy silhouette style, keeping a consistent, purposely unrefined color in text.
Well-suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, display headlines, packaging accents, stickers, and playful book or album covers. It also works for branding that wants an artisanal, DIY voice, especially where a bold, textured wordmark or callout is more important than quiet, continuous reading.
The font reads friendly and mischievous, like marker lettering or a rough print pulled from a handmade stamp. Its irregularity gives it a gritty, zine-like attitude while staying approachable and humorous, making it feel more crafty than formal.
Likely designed to capture the look of casual hand lettering with a slightly distressed, inked finish—delivering a warm, imperfect presence that feels personal and crafted rather than mechanically drawn.
In longer text the strong ink color and irregular outlines create a lively texture that stands out best at larger sizes. Round letters (O, C, e) emphasize the soft, organic shapes, while straighter letters (E, F, T) keep a deliberately imperfect, hand-cut feel.
