A narrow, monoline display face with softly rounded terminals and a gentle, hand-drawn irregularity. Strokes are built from solid forms with a slim inline cut running through many verticals and curves, creating a subtle hollowed, engraved effect without adding contrast. Curves are open and airy, counters are generous, and joins stay smooth rather than sharp; proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic rhythm. Numerals and capitals keep a tall, condensed stance, while the lowercase sits relatively small with simple, upright constructions.
Best suited for headlines, short phrases, and branding where the inline treatment can be appreciated—such as posters, packaging, café or boutique signage, and playful editorial callouts. It can also work for large-size UI labels or social graphics, but the interior cut may soften at very small sizes.
The inline carving and slightly wobbly drawing give the font a lighthearted, crafty tone—part retro sign lettering, part doodled headline. It feels approachable and informal, with enough stylistic character to read as decorative rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to mimic casual hand-lettering while adding a distinctive inline cut to make solid strokes feel lighter and more crafted. Overall, it aims for an expressive display look that stays readable through simple, upright forms and consistent monoline construction.
The inline detail is most noticeable on upright strokes and rounded bowls, where it reads like a pen line or incised groove inside the shape. Spacing appears comfortably open for a condensed design, helping the tall forms stay legible in short bursts.
