A heavy, rounded display face with soft, bulbous terminals and an overall monoline feel that reads as thick, cushioned strokes. Many glyphs include small circular cutouts near stroke ends and joins, creating a distinctive perforated/knockout texture that repeats consistently across the alphabet and numerals. Counters are generous and shapes are open and simplified, with compact joins and smooth curves that keep the rhythm bouncy; diagonals and intersections stay rounded rather than sharp. Numerals are similarly rounded and sturdy, with the same punctured details, reinforcing a cohesive, ornamental system.
Best suited to display settings where the hollowed cutout details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, product packaging, and cheerful signage. It can also work for short bursts of UI or social graphics when a friendly, characterful tone is desired, rather than long-form reading.
The repeating little “holes” and inflated forms give the font a cheerful, crafty personality—somewhere between retro signage and playful packaging. It feels approachable and informal, with a slightly quirky, handmade-meets-industrial accent from the cutouts.
The design appears intended to merge a bold rounded skeleton with an ornamental knockout motif, creating a memorable, brandable texture while preserving clear letter silhouettes. The consistent placement of small circular voids suggests a deliberate system to add personality without sacrificing overall legibility at typical display sizes.
The knockout details become a key identifying feature at larger sizes, reading like rivets, stitches, or perforations; at small sizes they may visually merge into the stroke mass. The overall silhouette remains clear and friendly, but the decorative cutouts add texture that makes the face more distinctive than a standard rounded sans.
