A heavy, rounded display face with soft, inflated contours and an inline cut that runs through the strokes, creating a hollowed highlight effect. Letterforms lean on simple, chunky geometry with noticeably irregular curves and slightly wobbly outlines, giving the set a hand-drawn rhythm. Terminals are blunt and friendly rather than sharp, counters are generally open, and the overall texture is dark but animated by the consistent inner channel.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and playful branding where the inline detail can be appreciated. It can also work well for social graphics, stickers, and event collateral that benefit from an informal, friendly tone.
The font reads as upbeat and approachable, with a playful, doodled personality. Its inline carving adds a lively, retro sign-painting energy that feels casual and fun rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a handcrafted look, using an inline cut to add dimensionality and visual interest without relying on additional weights. The irregular outline and rounded construction prioritize warmth and character over strict geometric precision.
Capitals and lowercase share the same rounded, cartoon-like construction, with single-storey forms where expected and a generally simplified silhouette. Numerals follow the same chunky, softened style, staying legible while maintaining the bouncy, handmade feel.
