A heavy, rounded display face built from soft, blobby strokes with noticeably irregular contours. Terminals frequently bulge or taper unevenly, and many glyphs carry small drips, specks, or underlines that feel like ink pooling beneath the baseline. Counters are generous and often asymmetrical, curves dominate over straight segments, and diagonals (as in V, W, X) appear slightly wobbly. Overall spacing and widths vary from letter to letter, creating a lively, uneven rhythm in words and lines.
Best used for short display settings where its texture and irregular rhythm can be appreciated: posters, headlines, packaging accents, stickers, event promos, and playful editorial callouts. It also fits light horror or Halloween applications when paired with simpler supporting type for body text.
The font reads as mischievous and comedic, with a handmade, inky character that suggests splatter, goo, or paint. Its bouncy shapes and deliberate imperfections give it a lighthearted, offbeat tone suited to playful or spooky-fun themes rather than formal communication.
The design appears intended to mimic a casual, hand-drawn marker or brush look with intentionally uneven edges and ink-pool artifacts. Its goal is character and texture over neutrality, providing instant personality for attention-grabbing display typography.
Several glyphs include distinctive baseline accents—short strokes, puddle-like shadows, and droplet details—that become a strong texture in continuous text. The figures and punctuation inherit the same irregular, inked treatment, reinforcing the decorative nature at display sizes.
