A rounded, hand-drawn sans with chunky strokes and a consistent inline highlight that creates a hollowed, double-line effect throughout. Letterforms lean slightly with a lively, bouncy rhythm and soft terminals, favoring broad curves over sharp corners. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with gently irregular contours that reinforce a marker-like, handmade feel. Numerals and capitals are wide and open, while lowercase shapes remain simple and highly legible, with generous counters and a relaxed baseline flow.
Best suited for short, high-impact text where the inline detail can be appreciated—headlines, posters, social graphics, packaging, and storefront or event signage. It also works well for playful branding and kid-focused materials, especially when used at medium-to-large sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, reading like casual signage or doodled lettering made more graphic by the inline detailing. It feels nostalgic and crafty, with a lighthearted energy that suits fun, audience-friendly messaging.
The design appears intended to combine friendly, hand-lettered shapes with a built-in inline accent that adds visual interest and a sense of depth. It prioritizes approachability and standout display presence over strict geometric precision.
The inline cut gives the black mass a dimensional, sticker-like presence and helps differentiate the forms at display sizes. The texture stays controlled rather than rough, suggesting intentional “drawn” character without sacrificing clarity.
