A heavy, rounded display face built from chunky strokes with softly blunted terminals and an intentionally irregular, hand-drawn contour. Each glyph is mostly solid black but carved with a thin internal inline that meanders through the strokes, creating a cut-out highlight effect and lively texture. Curves are generous and counters are compact, with simplified construction in problem shapes like S and R; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) read broad and slightly uneven, reinforcing the informal rhythm. Numerals match the letterforms with bulbous silhouettes and consistent inline carving.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, badges, and logo wordmarks where the inline carving can be appreciated. It also fits packaging and playful branding systems that want a bold silhouette with a handmade, textured finish.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a crafty, screen-printed energy that feels nostalgic and slightly mischievous. The inline cut creates a playful sense of motion and adds personality without turning the forms delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, friendly display voice with a handcrafted twist, using an internal carved line to suggest dimensionality and printmaking texture while keeping letterforms simple and highly legible at display sizes.
The internal inline is intentionally imperfect and varies in placement from glyph to glyph, which adds character but can introduce visual noise in dense settings. The face reads best when given enough size or spacing for the carved highlight to remain distinct.
