A wiry, monoline slab-serif with an italic slant and highly individual letterforms. Strokes stay light and even, ending in squared, slab-like terminals that often flare slightly and create a chiseled, sign-painter feel. The design favors rounded-rectangle bowls and open counters, with gentle waists and occasional inward curves that give characters a soft, pinched rhythm. Spacing reads moderately open in text, while the irregular widths and distinctive shapes keep the texture lively rather than uniform.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, book covers, and branding where its distinctive shapes can be appreciated. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but its strong personality and irregular rhythm make it more effective for titles, pull quotes, packaging, and identity work than for dense body text.
The overall tone is quirky and literary, suggesting a handmade, storybook sensibility rather than strict formality. Its eccentric curves and flared slab ends give it a vintage, slightly mysterious personality that feels crafted and expressive.
The font appears designed to merge slab-serif structure with a hand-drawn, calligraphic looseness, prioritizing character and memorable silhouettes. It aims to evoke an old-world, crafted aesthetic while remaining clean and legible through monoline strokes and open internal spaces.
Several forms lean toward rounded-square geometry (notably bowls and zero), and the italic construction is expressed more through curved stems and angled joins than through strong stroke contrast. The numerals and capitals have enough idiosyncrasy to become graphic elements in display settings, while the lowercase maintains readable silhouettes at larger text sizes.
