A rounded, hand-drawn sans with soft, blobby strokes and irregular internal knockouts that read like punched holes or bubbly cutouts. Terminals are generally rounded and the stroke edges feel slightly wobbly, giving the outlines an organic, marker-like quality. Counters are open and friendly, while the decorative holes vary in size and placement from glyph to glyph, adding texture and a lively rhythm. Uppercase forms are simple and approachable; lowercase is similarly casual with single-storey shapes and uneven, humanized proportions that create a subtly variable silhouette across words.
Best suited for display settings where the cutout texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event and party graphics, playful packaging, stickers, and children’s or casual lifestyle branding. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, labels) when a friendly, handmade voice is desired.
The overall tone is playful and crafty, with a lighthearted, kid-friendly energy. The perforated/cutout detailing evokes a tactile, DIY feel—like stenciling, foam letters, or inked stamps—making the voice feel informal, fun, and characterful rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable, hand-crafted display sans with a distinctive perforated/knockout motif that adds texture and personality. It prioritizes charm and visual flavor over strict geometric consistency, aiming to make simple letterforms feel lively and memorable.
The interior knockouts are a dominant feature and can visually sparkle at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes they may merge into a mottled texture. The irregularities appear intentional and consistent, functioning as a built-in pattern rather than incidental distress.
