A tall, narrow text face with gently bracketed slab-like serifs and noticeably rounded terminals. Strokes are even and calm, with subtle modulation that reads more like pen pressure than strong contrast. Curves are slightly irregular and softened, giving counters an organic, hand-drawn feel, while overall alignment stays upright and steady. The lowercase shows compact ascenders and a moderate x-height, and the numerals follow the same narrow, slightly bouncy construction with softened corners.
Well suited to display and titling where a personable, handcrafted impression is desired—such as book covers, children’s or educational materials, café/retail branding, packaging, and posters. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when you want texture and character without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is warm and whimsical, balancing legibility with a quirky, storybook charm. Its softened slabs and slightly imperfect curves suggest craft and personality rather than strict neutrality, lending a friendly, approachable voice to headings and short text.
Likely designed to combine the sturdiness of slab serifs with softened, rounded details to create a readable but characterful voice. The narrow, tall proportions and gently irregular curves aim to deliver a distinctive, friendly texture that stands out in headlines and themed typography.
Rhythm is lively: spacing and widths vary enough to feel human, yet the repeating serif shapes and consistent stroke weight keep it cohesive. The rounded slab endings create a gentle texture on the baseline and cap line, which becomes a distinctive pattern in longer lines of text.
