A chunky, rounded display face with compact proportions and lively, hand-drawn irregularity. Strokes are thick and simplified, with frequent internal cutouts and small knocked-out slivers that create a hollowed, inky texture rather than clean geometric counters. Terminals are soft and bulbous, curves are slightly wobbly, and joins feel organic, giving the alphabet an animated rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and simple, while lowercase adds more bounce (single-storey a and g), and figures are similarly weighty and approachable.
Best suited to short, bold statements such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and playful branding where personality matters more than typographic neutrality. It also works well for kids-oriented materials, craft or DIY-themed designs, and label-style graphics where the hollowed details can add texture at display sizes.
The overall tone is cheerful and whimsical, with a comic, homemade energy. Its cutout highlights read like marker shine or stencil-like knockouts, lending a retro craft feel that feels informal, personable, and attention-seeking.
Likely designed as a characterful display font that combines chunky, friendly letterforms with distinctive hollowed-out highlights to stand apart from standard bold rounded faces. The intention appears to be immediate visual impact and a handcrafted, cartoon-leaning voice.
The internal knockouts vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the hand-rendered character and making texture a defining feature at larger sizes. Because the detailing is fine relative to the heavy strokes, the font reads best when given enough size and contrast so the cutouts remain visible.
