A monoline, rounded sans with an outlined construction and a consistent inline detail that reads like a second stroke running inside the letterforms. Curves are generous and circular (notably in O/C/G), while terminals stay soft and blunt, keeping the texture friendly rather than sharp. The drawing has a lightly irregular, sketch-like finish, with occasional wobble and doubled contours that emphasize a handmade feel. Proportions are generally simple and open, and the numerals echo the same rounded, inline treatment for a cohesive set.
Best suited for display roles such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where the inline detail can read clearly. It also fits playful or youth-oriented graphics, invitations, and casual signage, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample white space.
The font projects an upbeat, informal tone that feels crafty and approachable. Its inline outline effect adds a decorative, poster-like flair with a hint of vintage sign lettering, while the hand-rendered imperfections keep it personable and relaxed.
The design appears intended to deliver a decorative outline-with-inline look that mimics hand-drawn lettering while remaining structured enough for consistent typesetting. Its rounded geometry and friendly rhythm suggest an emphasis on approachability and visual charm over strict minimalism.
The inline/outline construction creates extra interior detail that becomes more prominent at larger sizes, giving headings a distinctive texture. In dense text, the doubled strokes can visually busy up counters and joins, so generous spacing and moderate lengths tend to look best.
