A condensed, hand-drawn display face with rounded forms and softly irregular stroke edges. The letterforms are built from thick, marker-like strokes that feature a consistent inline cut running through the centers, creating a hollowed, sign-paint-like texture. Curves are generous and corners are blunted, while verticals stay mostly straight, giving the design a tall, compact rhythm. Spacing is moderately open for a condensed design, and the numerals share the same bouncy, informal construction.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the inline detail can be appreciated—headlines, posters, menu titles, packaging callouts, and storefront or event signage. It can also work for logo wordmarks and social graphics, especially when set at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The inline detailing and slightly wobbly, brushy contours give the font a personable, crafty tone. It reads as upbeat and approachable, with a vintage handmade flavor that feels at home in casual branding and lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate bold hand lettering made with a brush or paint marker, enhanced by an inline cut to add depth and visual interest. Its condensed proportions aim to deliver strong impact in limited horizontal space while keeping a friendly, informal character.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain a cohesive gesture, with the lowercase showing especially rounded bowls and a relaxed, handwritten cadence. The inline channel remains visible even in tighter joins, reinforcing the distinctive “carved” look across letters and digits.
