A rounded sans with open, outlined letterforms and an internal inline that leaves the centers largely white. Each glyph is paired with a consistent offset shadow/duplicate stroke that adds depth, creating a layered, dimensional look without filling the interior. Strokes are smooth and monoline-like in feel, with generous curves, soft terminals, and broadly circular bowls; counters stay large and readable. The overall rhythm is lively and slightly bouncy, with the shadow offset giving every character a directional, poster-like presence.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and logo marks where the outline-and-shadow construction can read clearly at larger sizes. It also works well for playful labels, stickers, social graphics, and short promotional copy where a retro dimensional effect is desirable.
The font reads as upbeat and nostalgic, evoking mid-century signage and casual display lettering. The hollow construction and offset shadow add a lighthearted, cartoon-adjacent energy while still feeling clean and friendly.
Designed to deliver a dimensional, hollow display look that feels friendly and attention-grabbing. The consistent inline and offset shadow appear intended to provide instant depth and a sign-painter/poster aesthetic while keeping counters open for clarity.
The shadow direction is consistent across the set, which helps words hold together as a cohesive texture in longer lines. Numerals and capitals maintain the same rounded, outlined structure, keeping the voice uniform across mixed-case settings.
