A tall, slender serif design with gently rounded slab-like terminals and a lightly irregular, hand-drawn cadence. Strokes stay relatively even, with subtle swelling and tapering that adds warmth without strong contrast. The proportions are narrow with generous vertical reach, and the serifs read as soft, squared nubs rather than sharp brackets. Counters are small-to-moderate and the overall rhythm is slightly bouncy, with mild asymmetries that keep the texture lively while remaining legible in continuous text.
It suits short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, packaging, and brand marks where a quirky, handcrafted serif voice is desirable. It can also work for book covers and editorial accents, especially where a light, tall texture helps keep layouts open and elegant.
The face feels playful and slightly eccentric—more storybook and boutique than corporate. Its airy thinness and softened terminals give it a friendly, understated charm, while the tall silhouettes add a hint of vintage display personality.
The design appears intended to blend a narrow, high-waisted serif structure with rounded slab terminals and a gently imperfect, drawn feel. The goal seems to be a distinctive display serif that remains readable while projecting charm and individuality rather than precision.
The lowercase shows distinctive, characterful forms and a noticeable handcrafted wobble that becomes part of the texture in paragraphs. Numerals match the narrow, tall construction and keep the same soft terminal treatment, making the set cohesive across mixed alphanumeric settings.
