A heavy, inked display face built from compact, irregular silhouettes with soft corners and subtly faceted edges. Strokes swell and taper unpredictably, producing a cutout-like rhythm and variable internal spacing; many counters are reduced or collapse into solid shapes, boosting overall density. Letterforms lean on simplified geometry—blocky shoulders, rounded bowls, and short arms—while baseline and cap alignment remain generally steady despite the intentionally uneven outlines.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing applications such as posters, headlines, packaging, album/cover art, and playful branding marks. It performs well when set large with generous tracking and simple layouts where its dense shapes can remain legible.
The tone is playful and mischievous, with a handmade, slightly spooky-cartoon energy. Its chunky, blotted forms read like painted signage or rough cut paper, giving text an expressive, informal voice rather than a polished typographic one.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact through solid, irregular forms that feel hand-shaped and expressive. By prioritizing silhouette and texture over conventional counters and precision, it creates a distinctive novelty voice for bold display typography.
In sample text, the tight counters and heavy joins create dark word shapes and strong texture, with some letters distinguished more by silhouette than interior detail. Spacing feels lively and irregular, which adds character but can reduce clarity in long passages or at small sizes.
