A lively, right-leaning display face with rounded terminals and softly irregular, hand-drawn contours. Strokes are heavy and monoline in feel, with an inline cut running through the black forms to create a hollowed, dimensional look. Letterforms are compact and slightly bouncy, with simplified geometry and curved joins that keep counters open despite the weight. The overall rhythm is dynamic and friendly, with small variations in width and shape that read as intentionally playful rather than rigidly constructed.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the inline detail and bold silhouette can be appreciated—posters, playful branding, packaging, social graphics, and sticker-style or badge designs. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from an informal, energetic presence.
The inline detailing and slanted, rounded forms give this font a cheerful, retro-leaning personality. It feels approachable and energetic—more like signage or playful branding than formal editorial typography—suggesting motion and a lighthearted, cartoon-adjacent tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with added visual interest from inline carving, creating a dimensional, sign-painting-inspired effect. Its rounded, slightly irregular construction prioritizes charm and personality over strict geometric uniformity.
The inline is consistently applied across caps, lowercase, and numerals, adding texture and a sense of depth at display sizes. Numerals and uppercase forms maintain the same soft, inflated silhouette as the letters, helping mixed text feel cohesive.
