A chunky, rounded display face with heavy, soft-cornered letterforms and a deliberately irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Each glyph contains small interior cut-outs that read like punched holes, adding texture and lightness within the dense strokes. Curves are full and bulbous, terminals are blunt, and the overall spacing and widths feel slightly uneven to enhance the handcrafted rhythm. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same stout proportions and hole detailing, keeping the texture consistent across the set.
Best for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, event headlines, playful branding, kids’ products, and packaging where the punched-out texture can be appreciated. It also works well for crafts, labels, stickers, and social graphics that benefit from an informal, cartoon-like voice.
The carved-out interior details and wobbly outlines give the font a friendly, mischievous tone that feels handmade and animated. It suggests a lighthearted, kid-centric energy with a retro novelty flavor, prioritizing personality over strict typographic regularity.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display presence while adding visual interest through consistent interior cut-outs. The intentionally imperfect outlines and bouncy proportions aim to feel handmade and approachable, turning simple letterforms into a textured, characterful wordmark style.
The interior cut-outs act as a defining motif that stays visible at larger sizes and creates a speckled, confetti-like texture across words. The irregular contours and variable letter widths create a lively baseline rhythm, but the dense weight and decorative openings make it better suited to short bursts of text than extended reading.
