A tall, slender slab-serif with an airy, monoline feel and subtly rounded stroke endings. Serifs read as small, blocky feet with softened corners, and the overall drawing favors gentle curves over sharp joins. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, while ascenders and capitals feel elongated, giving the font a narrow, columnar rhythm. Letterforms show slight idiosyncrasies—softly uneven curves and occasional flared joins—that keep the texture lively without becoming messy in text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where personality is desired—book covers, chapter titles, boutique branding, packaging, and poster headlines. Its narrow proportions also help fit longer titles into tight spaces while maintaining a distinctive, handcrafted voice.
The tone is light, whimsical, and a bit offbeat, like hand-lettered type with a restrained, editorial polish. Its narrow, spindly presence feels friendly and bookish, suggesting an approachable retro or story-driven mood rather than a corporate one.
Likely intended to blend slab-serif structure with a hand-drawn softness, delivering a readable but characterful face that feels vintage-inspired and friendly. The design emphasizes tall proportions, rounded detailing, and a lightly irregular texture to create a memorable typographic voice for editorial and creative applications.
In running text the font maintains a steady vertical cadence, with distinctive rounded terminals and short slab-like serifs providing clear endpoints. Some glyphs (notably curvy letters and numerals) lean into playful shapes, which adds charm but can make the overall color feel intentionally irregular and expressive.
