A heavy, hand-drawn display face with brush-like, wedge-ended strokes and a slightly backslanted stance. Forms are irregular and lively, with bouncy baselines, uneven stroke edges, and occasional sharp notches that give a chiseled, cut-paper feel. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, while joins and terminals vary from letter to letter, reinforcing an intentionally rough, handmade rhythm. Proportions shift across the alphabet, and the numerals share the same chunky, gestural construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and playful packaging where texture and personality are assets. It can work well for kids-focused media, comics-adjacent graphics, or informal event collateral, especially when used at larger sizes with generous tracking and line spacing.
The font reads as energetic and mischievous, with a spirited, improvised character that feels more like bold marker or brush lettering than polished type. Its rugged edges and exaggerated shapes suggest a casual, comedic tone—friendly, a little chaotic, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to capture a bold, hand-rendered brush/marker look with an intentionally uneven finish, prioritizing character and momentum over uniformity. Its variable shapes and rugged terminals aim to create a lively, informal voice that stands out quickly in display typography.
The strong black mass and textured silhouette make it best when given room; tight spacing or very small sizes may cause counters and inner details to fill in. The reverse slant is a defining trait and adds motion, but it can also make long lines feel more animated and less formal.
