A narrow, hand-drawn display face with irregular, brushlike strokes and an inline cut running through many stems and bowls. Letterforms are upright with rounded terminals and softly uneven contours that preserve a marker/ink texture. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with lively width and curve differences that add a loose rhythm across words. The inline treatment reads like a carved highlight inside heavier strokes, emphasizing the high-contrast black/white interplay and giving counters and curves extra sparkle.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, poster titles, packaging callouts, and cover typography where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits playful branding, craft-oriented labels, and greeting-card style messaging, especially when paired with a simpler text face.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a whimsical, doodled energy. Its slightly imperfect outlines and animated shapes suggest something informal and human rather than polished or corporate, leaning toward a light retro craft or kids’ editorial feel.
The design appears intended as a characterful, hand-rendered display font that blends bold strokes with an internal highlight for added dimension. Its purpose is to inject personality and movement into titles and branding while maintaining legibility through simple, upright structures.
Spacing and stroke behavior feel intentionally inconsistent, which enhances personality but can make long passages look busy. The inline detail becomes most noticeable at larger sizes, where the internal cut reads as a decorative highlight rather than a thin gap.
