A light, monoline display face with narrow proportions and gently rounded, slab-like serifs. Strokes keep a consistent weight with soft joins and slightly flared or spurred terminals that read as rounded rather than sharp. The letterforms are tall and open with generous counters, and several glyphs introduce playful asymmetries and subtle curl-like details (notably in the Q, g, and some lowercase terminals). Overall spacing feels even and airy, supporting a clear vertical rhythm despite the narrow set.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text in expressive contexts such as book covers, children’s materials, packaging, café menus, posters, greeting cards, and invitations. It can also work for headings and pull quotes where a light, charming serif voice is desired, especially when set with comfortable leading.
The tone is warm and whimsical, with a storybook charm that feels handmade and slightly eccentric. Its soft slabs and rounded endings temper the narrow structure, giving it an approachable, friendly character rather than a formal one.
The design appears intended to blend the familiarity of a slab serif with a softer, more playful treatment, creating a readable yet characterful face for display typography. Its narrow build and consistent stroke weight suggest an aim for compact headlines and punchy, decorative text without heavy visual density.
Capitals maintain a tidy, upright stance while the lowercase adds more personality through curved descenders and occasional decorative hooks. Numerals follow the same slender, rounded construction and appear designed for harmony with text rather than strict tabular uniformity.
