A monoline serif with softly bulbed, slab-like terminals and gently rounded joins. Strokes stay even and light, with minimal contrast and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn steadiness that keeps forms lively without looking messy. Proportions are compact, with a notably small x-height and long, expressive ascenders and descenders. Curves are open and springy, while straight stems end in small, blunted serifs that read as rounded slabs rather than sharp brackets.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium passages where personality is welcome—children’s publishing, playful branding, packaging, invitations, and headers. It can also work for quotes or pull text when set with generous leading to accommodate the tall extenders and lively rhythm.
The overall tone is playful and storybook-like, combining a classic serif structure with a cheerful, idiosyncratic rhythm. Its soft terminals and bouncy shapes feel approachable and charming, lending an informal, crafty personality to text.
The design appears intended to blend the familiarity of a serif with a handcrafted, friendly voice. Rounded slab-like terminals and consistent stroke weight prioritize warmth and character over strict formal precision, creating a distinctive texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Capitals are simple and readable with modest decorative touches, while lowercase forms lean more expressive through loops and curved strokes, creating an animated texture in running lines. Numerals follow the same monoline logic with rounded ends, keeping the set cohesive for mixed editorial or display use.
