A wiry, lightly built roman with subtly flared, wedge-like terminals and gently irregular stroke paths that read as hand-drawn rather than mechanically perfect. Letterforms are generally compact with small, soft serifs and open, rounded bowls; curves and joins show slight wobble and variation that creates a lively rhythm. Counters are generous for the weight, and the overall texture feels airy, with uneven detailing at ends and corners that suggests an offset/echoed stroke impression in places.
Works well for headlines, short paragraphs, and pull quotes where a personable, informal serif is desired. It suits posters, packaging, café or boutique branding, and invitation-style materials where a handmade flavor can add character without sacrificing basic legibility.
The font carries a friendly, quirky tone—more storybook and crafty than formal. Its unevenness and delicate build give it an approachable, human voice that feels vintage-adjacent without becoming strictly historical.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif skeleton with an intentionally imperfect, drawn texture—adding charm and individuality while remaining usable for readable display and light text settings.
Uppercase forms stay relatively restrained and readable, while lowercase brings more personality through loopier bowls and idiosyncratic terminals. Numerals follow the same light, slightly inconsistent construction, keeping the overall palette cohesive in text and display use.
