A tall, condensed slab-serif with an extremely light, near-monoline stroke and crisp, unbracketed terminals. The forms favor narrow bowls and long verticals, producing an airy texture with a slightly uneven, hand-drawn rhythm. Serifs are small but blocky and often feel like short caps or ticks, while curves stay slim and taut. Lowercase shows compact counters and a delicate, wiry presence; numerals follow the same narrow, lightly constructed approach with simple, open shapes.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, delicate construction can be appreciated—headlines, short pull quotes, posters, book covers, and packaging. It can add distinctive personality to branding in calm or whimsical contexts, but the very fine strokes suggest using it at larger sizes and with ample contrast against the background for comfortable reading.
The overall tone feels playful and quirky while still reading as literary and refined. Its thin strokes and tall proportions lend a gentle, slightly eccentric personality—more “storybook” than corporate. The restrained, straight serifs add a faint vintage and editorial flavor without becoming heavy or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, lightly constructed slab-serif voice with a human, slightly irregular cadence—combining crisp, square-ended terminals with a whimsical, handwritten sensibility for distinctive titling.
Spacing appears tight-to-moderate relative to the narrow letterforms, creating a quick vertical cadence across lines. The design relies on height and slenderness for character rather than contrast, and the small slab terminals help keep word shapes crisp at display sizes.
