A slanted, monoline display face with an inline cut that reads like a second stroke running through each letterform. Strokes stay relatively even while corners soften into rounded joins and looping terminals, giving the outlines a buoyant, sketch-like cadence. Proportions are informal and slightly irregular, with open counters and generous inner space in round letters; capitals are tall and narrow-leaning, while lowercase maintains a compact x-height with long, expressive ascenders and descenders. The numerals follow the same airy, outlined construction and keep a consistent diagonal stress with lightly animated curves.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where the inline effect can read clearly. It works well for branding, packaging, café or boutique signage, invitations, and playful editorial callouts where a hand-drawn, decorative voice is desirable.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, with a doodled, retro flavor that feels friendly rather than formal. The inline detailing adds a decorative shimmer that suggests signage, casual packaging, and playful editorial moments.
The design appears intended to combine a casual handwritten silhouette with a decorative inline treatment, creating a light display style that feels crafted and lively. The consistent slant and simplified stroke structure prioritize charm and recognizability over strict geometric precision.
Legibility holds best at display sizes where the inline channel remains crisp; at smaller sizes the internal line and narrow joins may visually fill in. Curved letters like C, G, O and the looping forms in R, Q, y and g emphasize the font’s handwritten character and slightly bouncy rhythm across words.
