A slender, upright serif with softly rounded, slab-like feet and gently flared stroke endings. Strokes are monolinear to lightly modulated, giving the letters a clean, even color while keeping an organic, slightly irregular rhythm. Proportions are tall and compressed, with generous ascenders/descenders and a notably small x-height, producing a delicate, airy texture. Curves are open and springy (notably in C/O/S), counters are spacious, and the overall spacing reads a touch loose, reinforcing the informal cadence.
Best suited to display settings where its quirky, narrow silhouette can add personality—book covers, children’s or family-oriented materials, boutique branding, packaging, headings, and short pull quotes. It can work in larger text sizes where the small x-height and fine structure remain clear.
The tone feels playful and literary, like a refined handwritten display face suited to charming, offbeat messaging. Its narrow, elongated forms and rounded serifs add a gentle eccentricity that reads friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a simple serif structure with the warmth of hand-drawn irregularity. By keeping contrast restrained and terminals rounded and slab-like, it aims for a distinctive, approachable voice that stands out in titles without feeling harsh or overly formal.
The figures follow the same tall, wiry construction as the letters, with simple, readable forms and occasional curled terminals (e.g., on 2/3/5/9). Uppercase has a slightly theatrical presence with long verticals and soft-bracketed slab details, while lowercase maintains a lightly jittered, humanistic flow.
