A tall, condensed display face with a spindly, monoline skeleton and gently rounded slab-like terminals. Strokes stay fairly even throughout, with small bulb/teardrop endings and short, soft serifs that give the letterforms a subtle anchored feel despite the light weight. Counters are narrow and vertical, curves are slightly uneven in a deliberate, hand-drawn way, and joins remain simple and open for clarity. Overall spacing reads tight and vertical, producing a continuous, delicate rhythm in text.
Best suited for display applications where its tall, delicate voice can be appreciated—headlines, posters, invitations, labels, and packaging. It also works well for short passages in editorial pull quotes or captions when a whimsical, handcrafted texture is desired.
The font conveys a playful, storybook personality—light on its feet, a little eccentric, and friendly rather than formal. Its narrow proportions and soft terminals feel whimsical and crafty, suggesting boutique or DIY sensibilities with a hint of vintage charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, lightly hand-rendered look with soft slab terminals, combining a narrow display footprint with approachable, rounded details. Its consistent monoline construction prioritizes a clean silhouette while preserving an intentionally quirky, illustrative character.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same tall, linear proportions, keeping a consistent silhouette across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same thin, elongated construction, helping headlines and short lines keep a cohesive, gently quirky tone.
