A casual, hand-drawn sans with narrow proportions and an animated, slightly wobbly baseline rhythm. Strokes are mostly uniform in mass but feature a distinctive inline/engraved highlight that creates a hollowed, sketchy interior, giving each letter a carved-through look. Terminals are rounded and brushlike, curves are soft and open, and counters are generous for the style. Uppercase forms stay simple and readable, while lowercase includes single-story shapes and lively ascenders/descenders that add personality without becoming overly ornate.
Works best for short display copy such as headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and greeting cards where the inline detail can be appreciated. It also suits children’s, hobby, and craft-oriented branding, social graphics, and playful pull quotes; for long passages, larger sizes will preserve legibility.
The overall tone is friendly and lighthearted, like marker lettering with a decorative cut line. It reads as informal, crafty, and approachable—well suited to cheerful messaging and playful branding rather than strict, technical communication.
Designed to evoke hand-drawn lettering while adding a decorative inline accent that suggests carved, outlined, or sketched-through strokes. The goal appears to be an approachable display face with strong personality and texture for expressive, informal typography.
The inline cutouts add texture and visual sparkle, especially at display sizes, but also introduce busy interiors that can soften clarity in very small text. Spacing appears relaxed and organic, reinforcing the hand-rendered character.
