A heavy, hand-drawn display face with chunky, irregular strokes and a lightly slanted stance. Letterforms are built from soft, rounded shapes mixed with angular cuts, creating an uneven, lively rhythm. The most distinctive feature is the hollowed, scribble-like interior texture: strokes read as dark outlines with scattered cut-outs and hatch marks that vary from glyph to glyph, giving a printed-ink or marker-doodle feel. Counters are generally open and generous, and terminals tend to be blunted rather than sharp, reinforcing the casual, crafted construction.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, event promos, packaging labels, stickers, and social graphics where texture can be appreciated. It also works well for playful branding and titles that benefit from a casual, hand-rendered voice; longer passages may feel busy due to the internal cut-outs.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, with a DIY, zine-like personality. Its rough interior knockouts and wobbly geometry suggest informality and spontaneity, making the font feel friendly, loud, and intentionally imperfect rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic a bold hand-drawn marker or brush outline that has been distressed with scribbled, hollowed texture, delivering a distinctive display look with strong personality and built-in visual grit.
The texture is prominent enough to become part of the letter identity, so spacing and color can appear to “sparkle” at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same doodled knockout treatment, keeping the set visually consistent for headline use.
