A tall, compact serif with rounded slab-like terminals and an overall monoline feel. Strokes are thin and even, with soft, bulbed endings that read as friendly rather than sharp. The letters are narrow and vertically oriented, with modest curves and simplified joins that keep forms clean and legible. Numerals and lowercase share the same restrained rhythm, with noticeable vertical emphasis and consistent, lightly bracketed serif treatment.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a slim, refined serif with personality is desired—such as editorial pull quotes, menus, invitations, labels, and boutique packaging. It also suits posters and headings that benefit from a tall silhouette and a soft, retro flavor without heavy contrast.
The tone is bookish and lightly whimsical, evoking vintage printing and typewriter-adjacent charm without becoming rough or distressed. Its rounded terminals add warmth, giving text a gentle, personable voice suited to informal editorial or boutique branding.
Likely intended to blend readability with a distinctive, gentle character: a narrow serif voice that feels classic yet approachable. The rounded slab-like terminals and delicate stroke weight suggest a design aimed at adding warmth and charm to contemporary layouts while maintaining a disciplined, upright structure.
The design relies on a steady vertical cadence and small, rounded details to create character; the narrow set and airy stroke weight make it feel delicate at small sizes but distinctive in larger settings. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall color on the page stays light and open.
