A light outline typeface with rounded, softly modeled letterforms and gently bracketed slab-like serifs. The contours feel slightly inflated, with smooth curves in bowls and terminals contrasted by flat, squared-off ends on stems and serifs. Proportions are fairly even and readable, with sturdy uppercase shapes and lowercase forms that lean toward a simple, geometric construction; the a is single-storey and the g is single-storey with a prominent ear. Numerals follow the same friendly, rounded structure, with open counters and consistent outline thickness that keeps the texture airy in text.
Best for headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage where the outline effect can read cleanly and contribute personality. It works well when given generous size or tracking, and when paired with solid fills, color, or layering effects to enhance contrast against backgrounds.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a hint of vintage sign lettering with a cartoon-like softness. The outlined construction gives it a light, decorative presence that feels optimistic and informal rather than authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a decorative outline style that stays friendly and legible, using rounded geometry and softened slab-serifs to evoke a retro, hand-lettered display feel without becoming overly ornate.
In the sample text, the outline-only drawing maintains clarity at larger sizes, while the interior whitespace dominates at smaller sizes, making it better suited to display settings. The rounded joins and bracketed serifs create a consistent rhythm across mixed-case text, and the punctuation (like the ampersand) carries the same soft, outlined character.
