A heavy, rounded display face drawn as an outline with an inner inline that creates a hollowed, open counter feel. Letterforms are wide and friendly with smooth curves, softened terminals, and minimal stroke modulation, relying on the outline/inline construction for contrast rather than traditional thick–thin. A consistent offset shadow sits down and to the right, forming a crisp, geometric extruded edge that adds depth while keeping the main shapes clean and legible. Numerals match the inflated proportions and share the same shadow logic, producing a cohesive, poster-ready texture across mixed-case text.
Well suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, cover art, and logo wordmarks where dimensionality and charm are desired. It also works for packaging fronts, event titles, and playful signage, especially when you want a clear retro drop-shadow look without relying on effects.
The combination of bubbly outlines and a hard-edged cast shadow reads upbeat and nostalgic, evoking mid-century signage, sticker lettering, and arcade-era display graphics. It feels energetic and approachable, with a lighthearted, attention-grabbing tone rather than a formal or editorial voice.
Designed to deliver instant dimensional punch through a built-in offset shadow while maintaining a friendly, rounded silhouette. The outlined/inline structure suggests an intent to feel airy and graphic at the same time, giving designers a ready-made, vintage display treatment straight from the font.
The shadow adds strong directional emphasis, so the face naturally wants generous tracking and breathing room in tight layouts. The outlined construction keeps interiors open, but fine outline details can soften at very small sizes; it reads best where the shadow and inline can remain distinct.
