This typeface combines mostly monoline construction with subtly flared, wedge-like terminals that create a lightly calligraphic feel without strong contrast. Curves are generous and slightly irregular, and many joins and endings resolve into angled cuts rather than perfectly square finishes. Proportions are compact and texty, with a modest x-height, short-to-moderate extenders, and a lively, uneven rhythm that reads as intentionally human rather than mechanically uniform. Uppercase forms keep simple skeletons, while lowercase shows more character through soft bowls, slightly tilted terminals, and a single-storey “a” and “g” style impression.
It suits book covers, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and brand voice applications where a touch of charm is desirable. The consistent color and open shapes also make it workable for short blocks of text, especially in print contexts that benefit from its softly human texture.
The overall tone feels literary and approachable, with a gentle eccentricity that suggests informal print—part classic, part quirky. It conveys warmth and personality while still remaining clear enough for continuous reading, making it feel more “storybook” than corporate.
The design appears intended to bridge readable text structure with expressive, hand-influenced detailing—delivering a familiar alphabet with distinctive angled terminals and a slightly irregular cadence. It aims to stand apart from neutral sans styles while remaining practical for display and text-forward compositions.
Round letters (like O/Q) appear slightly oval and animated, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) carry a crisp, cut-terminal energy that adds snap to headings. Numerals are straightforward and sturdy, matching the text color and maintaining the same lightly flared ending behavior seen in the letters.
