A rounded sans display with chunky strokes that are hollowed by a consistent inner inline, creating a double-stroke/outlined effect. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with soft corners and simplified geometry; curves stay smooth while terminals remain blunt and friendly. Uppercase shapes are steady and legible, while the lowercase introduces a slightly more casual rhythm with open apertures and uncomplicated joins. Numerals match the same hollow inline construction and maintain an even, sign-like weight across the set.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headings, event graphics, packaging, and branding marks where the inline detail can contribute character. It also works well for signage and short callouts, especially when you want a friendly tone with strong presence and a built-in decorative accent.
The inline cut gives the face a lively, poster-ready sparkle that reads as upbeat and approachable rather than formal. Its soft, rounded construction leans toward a nostalgic, mid-century-to-arcade feel, with a cheerful, hand-drawn energy that suits informal messaging and attention-grabbing headlines.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with minimal complexity: a bold rounded skeleton enhanced by a carved inline that adds depth and visual interest. The overall intention appears to be a versatile, approachable display face that feels graphic and fun while remaining readable in short bursts.
The hollow inline detail becomes more prominent as sizes increase, where the interior channel reads crisply and adds texture without needing additional color. At smaller sizes the inner line may visually tighten, so the style is most effective when given room to breathe in display settings.
