A chunky, rounded sans with softly squared corners and even, upright construction. Each glyph is defined by a solid outer stroke and a field of irregular internal cutouts, creating a hollowed, speckled texture that reads like a punched or carved fill rather than a uniform inline. Counters are generally open and simple, with single‑storey forms in the lowercase and a broad, friendly proportion that stays legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same sturdy geometry and textured interior, keeping a consistent rhythm across the set.
Best suited to headlines, short bursts of text, and branded moments where texture is a feature—posters, event flyers, packaging, stickers, and playful editorial callouts. It can also work for children’s materials or craft-oriented brands where a decorated, tactile look is desired.
The irregular knockouts give the face a playful, crafty personality—part retro novelty, part handmade stencil. It feels lively and tactile, suggesting paper cut, sponge print, or decorative sign lettering rather than a purely digital surface.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display alphabet with built-in visual texture, using irregular internal cutouts to add character and a handcrafted, decorative finish while keeping straightforward, readable letterforms.
The interior texture is the dominant feature and can visually thicken or sparkle depending on size and background contrast, so spacing and word shapes feel more animated than in a flat solid face. The design maintains consistent outline weight across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings look cohesive.
