A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and soft, slightly flattened curves. The strokes are solid and low-contrast, but are visually animated by consistent internal cut-outs that read as an inline/hollow detail across most glyphs, giving each character a perforated, confetti-like texture. Counters are large and open for the weight, terminals are blunt, and joins stay simple and geometric, creating a steady rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Figures follow the same sturdy construction, with clear silhouettes and minimal detailing beyond the interior carving.
Well suited to display applications where the decorative inline/hollow texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where a playful, tactile voice is desired, but is best kept out of long passages due to the dense interior detailing.
The overall tone is cheerful and attention-grabbing, with a nostalgic, handmade feel. The internal cut-out pattern adds sparkle and motion, pushing the design toward celebratory, poster-friendly uses rather than quiet text work.
The design appears intended as a decorative display sans that combines sturdy, friendly letterforms with a consistent carved interior detail to add personality and visual sparkle without changing the outer silhouettes.
The interior carving is dense enough to read as a deliberate decorative texture at display sizes; at smaller sizes it may visually merge into a grainy fill. Uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive, friendly geometry, and the sample text shows strong word-shape presence thanks to the wide set and large apertures.
