A condensed, heavy display face with rounded, hand-drawn contours and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes are thick but broken up by consistent interior cut-outs and inset voids that create a hollowed, dimensional look, with occasional offset-like inner shapes that read as shadowed depth. Terminals are soft and blunted, curves are generous, and counters tend toward oval forms; overall spacing is tight and the silhouette stays punchy at large sizes. The lowercase is simple and friendly with single-storey forms, while numerals and capitals maintain the same chunky proportions and inward detailing.
Best suited to short, bold statements such as posters, headlines, titles, and event flyers where the inset detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for playful branding elements like packaging, logo wordmarks, and stickers, especially when a cartoonish, retro tone is desired.
The font reads as playful and crafty, like marker lettering that’s been stylized for posters and packaging. Its hollowed interior details add a slightly eerie, comic-book atmosphere—fun rather than truly threatening—making it feel retro and theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum display impact through chunky forms paired with hollowed-in detailing that adds dimension and texture. It prioritizes personality and a handcrafted feel over strict geometric regularity, aiming for a shadowed, outlined look that stays readable in large-scale use.
The interior cut-outs vary subtly from glyph to glyph, contributing to a handmade texture. The dimensional effect is most noticeable in rounded characters (O, Q, a, e, 8, 9), where the inset shapes reinforce depth and a shadow-like impression.
