A compact, narrow serif with softly slabbed, rounded terminals and gently bracketed joins. Strokes keep an even, low-contrast color, while subtle irregularities in curves and serif shaping introduce a hand-drawn warmth. The capitals are tall and tidy with restrained ornament, and the lowercase shows a personable rhythm—notice the single-storey forms and the modest, slightly bouncy baseline feel. Counters are relatively small and vertical stress reads cleanly, making the texture consistent in running text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium editorial text, pull quotes, and headings where a narrow, characterful serif can add personality without heavy contrast. It also fits playful packaging, stationery, and event materials, and can work in posters or branding when a friendly, bookish tone is desired.
The overall tone feels friendly and slightly quirky—like a carefully inked storybook or a vintage classroom handout. Its rounded slab details and narrow proportions give it a charming, approachable voice rather than a formal or corporate one.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdiness of slab-like serifs with rounded, human touches, producing an approachable serif for display and readable text. Its narrow build suggests a goal of fitting comfortably into tight layouts while maintaining a distinctive, handcrafted charm.
Distinctive details such as bulb-like serif ends, small teardrop-like terminals on some lowercase, and simplified numerals contribute to a crafted, analog impression. In longer passages the tight proportions create a crisp column, while the soft serifs keep it from feeling severe.
