A heavy, rounded display face with compact counters and a lively, hand-drawn edge. The strokes are filled black but cut through by a thin, uneven inline that meanders inside each letterform, creating a carved, sketchy highlight. Terminals are blunt and softly squared, with slightly irregular outlines that keep the rhythm informal while remaining highly legible. Uppercase forms read broad and blocky; lowercase is simple and buoyant with single-storey shapes and stout stems, and the numerals follow the same chunky, cut-inlined construction.
Best suited for short to medium display text where the chunky silhouettes and internal inline can be appreciated—posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for playful branding and merchandise graphics, especially when strong contrast against a light background is desired.
The inline carving and imperfect contours give the font a crafty, human energy—equal parts playful and bold. It evokes a vintage sign/marker aesthetic with a spirited, comic-friendly tone that feels approachable rather than formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, hand-rendered personality, using an internal carved line to add depth and character without sacrificing readability. The overall construction prioritizes bold, approachable display presence over refined text neutrality.
Spacing appears generously open for a dense display style, helping counters and the internal inline stay readable in words. The inline varies subtly in thickness and placement from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade texture and adding visual movement across longer lines.
