A slender, monoline serif with softly rounded, slab-like terminals and lightly bracketed joins. The letterforms are upright with a narrow, airy footprint and generous sidebearings, giving lines a light, open texture. Strokes stay even with minimal modulation, while details like the curved tail on Q, modest hooks on j/y, and rounded feet on stems add a subtle, hand-drawn cadence. Numerals and capitals share the same delicate structure, keeping an overall consistent, lightly decorative rhythm.
Works well for book covers, editorial headlines, and pull quotes where a light, literary voice is desired. It also suits boutique branding, packaging, and posters that benefit from a handcrafted-but-structured serif, especially when paired with a more neutral text face for longer reading.
The tone feels friendly and slightly quirky—more storybook and artisanal than corporate. Its soft slabs and gentle curves suggest a vintage print sensibility, delivering warmth without becoming overtly script-like or ornate.
Likely drawn to combine the clarity of a simple serif with softened slab terminals to create an approachable display serif. The intent appears to be a distinctive, characterful face that evokes vintage print and gentle whimsy while staying clean and readable.
The design relies on distinctive terminal shapes and small idiosyncrasies rather than contrast for character, which helps it remain legible at moderate sizes while still feeling personality-driven. The tall proportions and narrow forms emphasize verticality, giving headings a refined, lightly eccentric presence.
