A wiry, monoline slab serif with tall proportions, tight counters, and slightly uneven stroke terminals that suggest an inked or hand-drawn construction. Serifs are small but assertive, often appearing as blunt wedges or short slabs, with occasional asymmetry at joins and ends. Curves are narrow and taut, and diagonals feel lightly calligraphic, giving letters a gently irregular rhythm while remaining clearly upright and legible. Numerals and lowercase follow the same spare, linear build, with a compact x-height and long extenders that add vertical liveliness.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where personality is welcome: book jackets, editorial headlines, posters, packaging, and brand accents. It can work for captions or pull quotes when you want an informal, handmade tone, but its wiry build and distinctive forms may feel busy for dense, extended reading.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, like a neat hand-lettered face intended to feel personable rather than mechanical. Its narrow, springy forms and slightly wobbly details create a whimsical, storybook flavor with a light vintage/DIY sensibility.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif structure with a hand-inked, monoline feel—delivering a friendly, characterful voice while keeping letterforms recognizable and organized. Its proportions and lively details emphasize charm and individuality over strict geometric precision.
Spacing appears relatively open for the narrow forms, helping text color stay airy despite the tall, compact lettershapes. Distinctive, slightly unconventional constructions (notably in a few curved letters and the angled strokes) add character that will be more noticeable at display sizes than in long paragraphs.
