A decorative outlined serif with a monoline outer contour and open counters, giving each glyph an airy, cut-out look. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with rounded bowls, softly flared strokes, and frequent ball-like terminals; many curves include small teardrop/seed-shaped interior notches that read as intentional ornament rather than texture. Serifs are gentle and bracketed, and the overall construction favors smooth arcs over sharp joins, producing a consistent, buoyant rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging, logos, and book or game covers where its outline construction and ornamental notches can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text or pull quotes, but it’s most effective when given room and size to let the interior details remain clear.
The tone is playful and slightly nostalgic, evoking vintage signage and children’s storybook titling. Its quirky interior cut-ins and bouncy proportions make it feel friendly and theatrical rather than formal, with a hand-crafted charm despite its consistent geometry.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive outlined silhouette with a memorable, ornamented personality for attention-focused applications. Its consistent contour weight and soft serif treatment suggest an intent to balance decorative flair with a cohesive, repeatable system across the alphabet and numerals.
The design leans on distinctive interior detailing (small notches/dots) that becomes a strong identifying feature in running text, especially in round letters and numerals. Capitals are especially attention-grabbing and decorative, while the lowercase maintains the same outlined logic with simplified forms that keep words readable at display sizes.
