A tall, condensed display face with rounded terminals and softly irregular outlines that suggest a hand-drawn origin. The strokes are punctuated by small internal circular knockouts, creating a dotted, hollowed texture that runs through stems and bowls. Overall rhythm is lively and slightly uneven, with simple, compact shapes and gentle curves that keep counters open while emphasizing the perforated detailing.
Well-suited to short headlines, posters, labels, and branding moments where a decorative, upbeat texture is desired. It can also work for children’s materials or event signage where personality matters more than neutrality; for longer text, larger sizes help preserve the dotted interior detail.
The dotted cutouts and bouncy proportions give the font a cheerful, novelty tone reminiscent of carnival signage and playful packaging. It feels friendly and informal, with a crafted character that reads as intentionally quirky rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended as a characterful display font built around a consistent perforated/knockout treatment, combining condensed proportions with a whimsical, handcrafted feel to create instant visual flavor in titles and branding.
The internal perforations are the defining motif and remain visible across caps, lowercase, and numerals, adding strong texture even at moderate sizes. Because the detailing is fine and frequent, the face reads best when the knockouts have enough space to stay distinct.
