A slanted, monoline display face built from rounded, open curves and soft terminals, with an unusually persistent baseline stroke that reads like an integrated underline. Letterforms are wide and loosely constructed, with a buoyant rhythm and frequent swooping joins into the underline, giving many glyphs a tethered, signature-like silhouette. Counters are generally open and simplified, and the overall texture stays even due to minimal stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same logic, combining simple curves with the continuous baseline motif for a cohesive, intentionally idiosyncratic set.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings where its underline-driven gesture can act as a branding device—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for playful titling in editorial or social graphics, provided generous leading is used to keep the underline from crowding adjacent lines.
The tone is mischievous and informal, evoking doodled signage and whimsical mid-century styling. The ever-present underline adds a theatrical, tongue-in-cheek emphasis, making text feel animated and self-aware rather than neutral or sober.
The design appears intended as a one-off, expressive display style that turns the baseline into an active part of the letterforms. Its goal is recognizability and character over neutrality, using a continuous underline to create motion, emphasis, and a deliberately unconventional reading experience.
The built-in underline is a dominant graphic feature that can create strong horizontal bands in running text, especially at smaller line spacing. Because many letters visually connect to the baseline stroke, spacing and line height will meaningfully affect clarity and the perceived “scribble” density.
