A rounded, hand-drawn display face with thick, softly bulbous strokes and a consistent inline cut that runs through each form, creating a hollowed, two-stroke feel. The letterforms are upright with simplified geometry, open counters, and gently irregular curves that mimic marker or brush lettering while maintaining a coherent rhythm. Terminals are blunt and softened, joins are slightly uneven in an intentional way, and overall spacing reads compact, giving words a dense, bubbly texture at text sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, playful branding, product packaging, kids-oriented materials, stickers, and social graphics. The inline carving reads clearly at medium to large sizes and can add texture to headlines and logos where a friendly, hand-made personality is desired.
The inline detailing and marker-like construction give the font a cheerful, casual voice with a comic, doodled sensibility. It feels lighthearted and approachable, leaning toward playful retro signage rather than formal editorial typography.
The design appears intended to merge a bold marker display look with an inline engraving effect, adding dimensional interest without relying on shading. It prioritizes warmth and character over strict geometric precision, aiming for an easygoing, illustrative presence in display settings.
The inline channel is generally centered and follows the stroke flow, producing strong contrast between the black outline mass and the internal white track. Curved characters (O, S, C) keep a smooth, rounded silhouette, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) retain a slightly wobbly, hand-rendered energy that enhances the informal tone.
