This typeface combines tall, condensed proportions with gently flared slab-like serifs and rounded terminals. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with soft joins and small, bulb-like endings that give the outlines an inked, slightly irregular feel without becoming messy. Counters are compact and vertical, and the overall rhythm is lively, with subtle variations in curve tension and serif shaping that keep lines of text from looking mechanical. Figures follow the same narrow, upright construction, maintaining a consistent color in running text.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and chapter titles, posters, and packaging that benefit from a distinctive, narrow voice. It can also work for branding where a friendly, slightly retro tone is desired, especially in short to medium text settings where its lively texture remains legible.
The overall tone is quirky and approachable, with a lightly vintage, bookish character. Its rounded slab details and bouncy texture suggest something human and informal—more storybook and craft than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, readable text-and-display hybrid with a handmade warmth. By pairing narrow proportions with soft slab-like serifs and rounded terminals, it aims for character and charm while keeping an even, steady typographic color.
In text, the narrow set and pronounced verticality create a strong columnar cadence, while the rounded slab features help prevent the condensed forms from feeling harsh. The punctuation and curves read cleanly at display sizes, and the distinctive serif/terminal treatment gives words a recognizable silhouette.
