A narrow, outline-only display face with softly rounded terminals and a lightly irregular, hand-drawn contour. Strokes are rendered as open counters defined by a single outer line, creating a hollow look with minimal interior detail. Letterforms keep a simple geometric backbone (clean bowls, straightforward stems) but with subtle wobble and uneven curvature that gives an informal rhythm. Proportions are condensed overall, with tall ascenders and compact widths; curves stay smooth and slightly inflated, and joins are generally gentle rather than sharp.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and playful branding where the outline effect can be appreciated. It can also work for short UI accents, labels, and signage when set large enough to preserve the delicate contour.
The font reads friendly and quirky, like doodled signage or comic titling. Its hollow outline lends a light, airy presence that feels upbeat and approachable, with a faint retro craft or classroom-poster tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a fun, approachable outline style that mimics hand-drawn lettering while keeping recognizable, readable shapes. Its condensed proportions and airy construction suggest a focus on attention-grabbing titling rather than long-form text.
Because the design is outline-based, the visual color is highly dependent on background and stroke thickness at the chosen size; it will appear most even at larger sizes where the contour can stay crisp. Numerals share the same narrow, rounded construction and maintain the casual, hand-made consistency seen in the letters.
