A heavy, rounded display face with soft corners and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn feel. The glyphs use compact, blocky forms with generous curves and a consistent inline cut running through the strokes, creating a hollowed, dimensional look without relying on contrast. Counters are generally open and circular, terminals are blunt, and the overall spacing and widths vary slightly between letters, contributing to a lively rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same sturdy construction, with simplified silhouettes and clearly carved interior linework that stays legible at headline sizes.
Best suited for large display settings such as posters, branding lockups, packaging, and short headlines where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also fits playful editorial accents and youth-oriented or entertainment contexts, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, leaning into a nostalgic, cartoon-signage energy. The inline treatment adds a playful, decorative sparkle that feels casual and fun rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, attention-grabbing letterforms with a decorative inline detail, balancing bold presence with an informal, hand-crafted charm for expressive display typography.
The inline carving is a defining feature and reads best when given enough size and breathing room; at smaller sizes the interior line may visually fill in. The shapes favor rounded geometry over sharp angles, producing a soft, friendly texture across words.
