A chunky, rounded display face with simplified, hand-drawn letterforms and an intentionally uneven rhythm. Strokes are heavy and generally monolinear, with soft corners and slightly irregular curves that keep the silhouette lively. The defining feature is a consistent field of small circular “pepper” voids punched through the black shapes, creating a confetti-like interior texture across letters and numerals. Width varies noticeably by character, and counters tend to be open and generous for a friendly, approachable read.
Best suited to display settings where the interior texture can be appreciated—posters, event and party materials, kids-oriented graphics, craft branding, and playful packaging. It can also work for labels or short pull-quotes when set at moderate-to-large sizes and with comfortable spacing.
The speckled cutout texture and bouncy proportions give the font a cheerful, crafty tone—more playful than serious. It feels like inked paper, stenciled craft foam, or decorated signage, lending an upbeat, handmade personality to headlines and short phrases.
Designed to deliver an instantly recognizable decorative texture while maintaining legible, rounded forms. The goal appears to be a fun, handmade look that adds visual flavor without relying on complex outlines or extreme distortion.
The dotted interior texture is dense enough to become a dominant visual element, especially at smaller sizes, where it can read more as grain than discrete holes. Uppercase shapes are broad and friendly, while lowercase forms retain a casual, simplified construction that reinforces the informal voice.
