A slanted, softly drawn serif with slab-like terminals that read as rounded and slightly irregular, giving it a hand-rendered feel. Strokes stay fairly even, with gentle swelling at curves and blunted, square-ish ends that act like small slabs rather than sharp wedges. Letterforms are open and generously spaced, with a relaxed rhythm and subtle inconsistencies that suggest pen or brush influence while remaining clearly constructed. The overall texture is smooth and airy, with simplified details and a calm, readable silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well suited to packaging, café or boutique branding, and display typography where a friendly, crafted voice is desirable. It can also work for book covers, posters, and short editorial headlines, especially when a relaxed vintage mood is needed without sacrificing clarity.
The tone is warm and personable, balancing a retro craft sensibility with everyday readability. Its slight wobble and softened slabs make it feel human and conversational rather than formal, lending a lighthearted, storybook-like character. The slant adds momentum and friendliness, keeping long lines feeling lively instead of rigid.
Likely intended as a casual display serif that borrows from slab-serif structure while introducing hand-drawn softness and a gentle slant. The design prioritizes approachability and personality, aiming to feel crafted and inviting while staying coherent in longer phrases.
The figures and punctuation echo the same softened slab treatment, helping numerals and text sit comfortably together. Curves are prominent and corners are eased throughout, which reduces sharpness and reinforces the informal, handmade impression.
