This typeface is built from thin, open outlines that read like a hand-drawn double contour, with small variations in stroke placement that create a lightly sketchy edge. Letterforms are mostly rounded and monoline in feel, with simple geometric construction softened by wobble and uneven terminals. Counters are generous and the overall color stays airy, while spacing and widths vary slightly across glyphs for an informal rhythm. Numerals and basic punctuation match the same outlined treatment, keeping the set visually consistent in text.
It works best at display sizes where the open outline can be appreciated—posters, playful headlines, labels, and packaging with a handcrafted aesthetic. It can also support short bursts of copy in cards or social graphics when a casual, approachable voice is needed.
The outlined, slightly imperfect contouring gives the font a friendly, crafty personality—more doodled than engineered. It suggests a playful, approachable tone suited to lighthearted communication rather than formal typography.
The design appears intended to translate a doodled marker-outline look into a cohesive alphabet, prioritizing personality and a recognizable outline texture over strict geometric precision. The goal seems to be an easygoing display face that feels handmade and friendly while remaining legible in short text settings.
In longer lines, the double-outline effect becomes the defining texture, producing a decorative “bubble” presence without filling in the strokes. Shapes remain largely upright and straightforward, with occasional quirky details (like softly kinked joins and uneven curves) that reinforce the handmade character.
