A rounded, marker-like display face with soft terminals and uneven, hand-drawn contours. Each glyph is built from a thick outline that contains irregular internal knockouts—small holes and dashes that create a perforated, textured fill while keeping the outer silhouette solid and legible. Proportions are generally compact with a normal x-height, but spacing and widths vary from letter to letter, enhancing the casual rhythm. Curves dominate, joins are simplified, and counters tend to be roomy, helping the decorative interior pattern read clearly at larger sizes.
This font is well suited to short display settings such as posters, party invitations, product packaging, stickers, social graphics, and playful headings. It works especially well when you want a bold silhouette with added internal texture, and when the type can be set at medium-to-large sizes for the perforations to remain distinct.
The overall tone is lighthearted and crafty, with a doodled, confetti-like texture that feels energetic rather than formal. The perforated interior gives a playful, bubbly personality suited to fun, informal messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a friendly, hand-drawn display voice with a distinctive hollowed texture—combining simple, rounded letterforms with irregular internal cutouts to add charm and visual interest without relying on sharp geometry or strict consistency.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, acting like a built-in pattern rather than separate ornamentation. In running text the interior knockouts add visual noise, so the face reads best when given breathing room and used where character is more important than long-form readability.
