A heavy, rounded display face with soft, blobby outlines and a hand-drawn feel. Strokes are thick and slightly irregular, with noticeably varied character widths and a lively, bouncy rhythm along the baseline. Many glyphs include small internal knockouts and cut-ins that read like ink breaks or carved highlights, giving the black shapes a textured, hollowed accent without becoming fully outlined. Counters are generally tight and organic, terminals are bulbous, and curves dominate over straight geometry for an overall friendly silhouette.
Best suited for short display settings where the chunky silhouettes and interior cutouts can be appreciated—posters, playful branding, product packaging, event graphics, stickers, and children’s or hobby-oriented materials. It can work in brief subheads, but the dense counters and textured interiors make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is playful and approachable, leaning toward cartoon and kid-friendly energy while still feeling bold and attention-grabbing. The irregular cutouts add a mischievous, crafty character—like marker lettering with intentional highlights—making the voice feel casual, fun, and slightly quirky.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with a hand-drawn personality, using irregular interior knockouts to add visual texture and a distinctive, crafted signature. It emphasizes immediacy and character over neutrality, aiming to stand out quickly in expressive titles and branding.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent rounded construction, with simplified forms that prioritize charm over strict typographic precision. Numerals match the same chunky, inked style, supporting cohesive headline settings. The internal knockouts vary from glyph to glyph, contributing to a hand-made texture that becomes more apparent at larger sizes.
