A compact, slightly slanted serif with soft, slab-like feet and rounded terminals that feel inked rather than machined. Strokes stay fairly even with gentle swelling at joins, and corners are eased into teardrop-like ends, giving the outlines a brushy, hand-cut look. Proportions are tight and upright-to-leaning with lively width variation between letters, producing a rhythmic, slightly irregular texture in words without losing legibility.
Works best for display and short-to-medium text where a friendly, handcrafted voice is desired—children’s publishing, artisan packaging, café menus, event posters, and identity systems that want warmth and charm. It can also serve as a distinctive accent face paired with a neutral text font.
The tone is warm and informal, with a storybook charm and a touch of vintage craft. Its rounded serifs and bouncy rhythm read as approachable and lightly whimsical rather than formal or corporate.
Likely designed to blend the sturdiness of slab-like serifs with rounded, handwritten cues, creating a legible display serif that feels casual and characterful. The goal appears to be an inviting, slightly nostalgic texture suitable for branding and narrative contexts.
Uppercase forms are simple and sturdy, while lowercase introduces more personality through curved shoulders and soft entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded treatment, keeping a cohesive voice across alphanumerics.
