A narrow, upright slab-serif with softly rounded terminals and compact proportions. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with gentle swelling at joins and small, bulb-like slab feet that give the outlines a cushioned feel. The drawing mixes crisp verticals with subtly irregular curves, creating a lively rhythm and slightly handmade texture. Uppercase forms are tall and tidy, while the lowercase is compact with a modest x-height and expressive, rounded details in letters like g, y, and j.
Well-suited to display and short-to-medium text where a playful, nostalgic voice is desired—such as children’s publishing, branding accents, packaging, menus, labels, and poster headlines. It can also work for pull quotes and subheads when you want compact width and a friendly, handcrafted texture.
The overall tone is warm and whimsical, balancing a vintage print sensibility with an approachable, casual charm. Its rounded slab features read as friendly rather than formal, lending text a lightly quirky, story-driven personality.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif structure with rounded, softened finishing to create a compact typeface that feels approachable and characterful. Its narrow build and lively details suggest a focus on personality and readability in charming, informal editorial or branding contexts.
Counters are generally small and the narrow set encourages a vertical, columnar color in text. Numerals follow the same soft slab language with simple, legible forms and rounded terminals that match the alphabet.
