A hand-drawn inline sans with rounded, slightly wobbly strokes and a consistent inner cut that reads like a carved highlight through each letter. Forms are mostly open and friendly, with soft curves, simplified construction, and gentle irregularities that create an uneven, human rhythm across the alphabet. Caps are compact and upright; lowercase is similarly upright with simple bowls and loops, and dotted i/j use round dots. Numerals follow the same casual, marker-like construction, with the inline treatment maintained throughout.
Works best for display settings where its hand-drawn texture and inline detailing can be appreciated—posters, short headlines, packaging, greeting cards, invitations, and playful branding. It can also suit children’s materials or craft-themed projects, while longer text is better kept to brief, large-size passages.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a sketchbook/hand-lettered feel that suggests informality and charm. The inline detail adds a decorative sparkle without becoming fussy, giving the face a lighthearted, crafty personality.
Designed to evoke a hand-lettered, marker-drawn look while adding an inline cut to introduce decoration and a sense of depth. The intent appears to prioritize character and warmth over strict geometric consistency, making it suitable for expressive display typography.
The inline cut is most noticeable on straights and larger bowls, where it produces a clear "hollowed" highlight that helps the letters feel dimensional. Stroke edges show intentional wobble and slight asymmetry, reinforcing the hand-rendered character and making the texture more expressive at larger sizes.
