A monoline outline serif with open, double-stroked letterforms that read as hollow shapes rather than filled strokes. The design uses gently irregular contours, soft bracket-like serifs, and rounded terminals, giving the alphabet a lightly hand-drawn rhythm. Curves are generous and slightly elastic, with occasional asymmetry and small eccentricities that keep the texture lively in text. Numerals follow the same outlined construction and retain a delicate, airy presence.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, packaging, and book-cover titling where the outlined construction can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or invitations, especially when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The overall tone feels whimsical and literary, like a classic children’s-book or fairytale titling style rendered as ink outlines. Its light, open construction creates a friendly charm, while the slightly quirky details add personality and a touch of vintage craft.
The font appears intended to deliver a distinctive outlined serif voice—decorative, approachable, and slightly handmade—prioritizing charm and visual character over strict, text-focused regularity.
Because the forms are built from outlines, the interior counters and spacing become a prominent part of the design; the face tends to look most coherent when given enough size and breathing room. The outline construction also makes strokes appear visually lighter than a comparable solid serif, emphasizing delicacy over authority.
