A lightly drawn roman with open, rounded forms and a gently irregular, hand-rendered texture. Strokes show subtle wobble and tapered joins, giving counters a slightly organic edge while maintaining a consistent baseline and upright stance. The proportions feel roomy with generous internal space, and the lowercase has straightforward, readable shapes with modest terminals and smooth curves. Numerals follow the same soft construction, with simple outlines and occasional slight asymmetry that reinforces the handmade rhythm.
Well-suited for continuous reading in editorial layouts, books, and long-form print where a soft, human tone is desired. It can also work nicely for packaging, menus, and invitations that benefit from an understated handmade character, especially at text and subhead sizes.
The overall tone is calm and approachable, with a quiet literary feel and a hint of analog imperfection. It reads as friendly and unpretentious rather than technical or corporate, suggesting a personal, crafted voice.
The design appears intended to provide a familiar roman skeleton with improved warmth and personality through subtle irregularity and soft curves. It aims for everyday readability while adding a crafted, analog flavor that keeps pages from feeling sterile.
The texture looks intentionally unpolished, like ink or pencil scanned from paper, which becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Round letters (such as o, c, e) stay open and clear, and the design avoids sharp geometric precision in favor of gentle modulation and slightly uneven stroke edges.
