A bold, hand-drawn display face with rounded, slightly wobbly contours and an uneven, organic rhythm. Strokes are largely solid black but feature irregular carved inline channels and occasional hollow pockets, giving many letters a sketched, cut-out look. Curves are generously rounded, terminals are blunt, and joins vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handcrafted feel. Proportions lean compact, with short lowercase extenders and a relatively small x-height; widths and sidebearings fluctuate, producing a lively, non-uniform texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and playful branding moments where texture is desirable. It can also work for children’s media, crafts, and casual social graphics, especially at larger sizes where the inline carving remains legible.
The overall tone is playful and informal, like lettering made with a thick marker and then partially carved back for texture. Its quirky irregularity reads friendly and crafty rather than strict or corporate, lending a slightly retro, comic, or zine-like attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-rendered presence while adding visual interest through carved inline counters, mimicking a cut-out or scratched-back marker fill. The irregular geometry and variable widths prioritize character and charm over strict uniformity, aiming for expressive display typography.
The inline detailing is inconsistent by design—sometimes appearing as a central groove, sometimes as multiple inner cuts—so letterforms feel animated and slightly chaotic at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same roughened interior treatment, keeping display settings cohesive.
