A chunky, rounded display face with compact proportions and a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes are heavy and smooth with soft, blobby terminals, and many letters include small internal cut-outs that read like highlight notches or punched counters, creating a subtly hollowed, textured look. Curves dominate the construction, with simplified joins and slightly uneven widths that add bounce and informality. Counters tend to be small and tight, and the overall silhouette stays bold and legible at larger sizes despite the irregular interior detailing.
Best suited to short-form display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and social graphics where its bold shapes and whimsical cut-outs can read clearly. It also fits children’s content, playful branding, and merchandise applications like stickers or T-shirts, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys a cheerful, informal tone—friendly and humorous, with a casual cartoon energy. The interior knockouts add a crafted, doodled personality that feels playful rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended as a characterful, high-impact display font that blends cartoon-like softness with distinctive internal knockouts for added texture and recognition. Its emphasis is on personality and immediacy over typographic neutrality, aiming to stand out in bold, fun communication.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent rounded language, with single-storey forms and simplified geometry that emphasize approachability. Numerals follow the same soft, bulbous style and remain clear, with the internal cut-outs adding distinctive texture in both letters and figures.
