A monoline slab serif with softly rounded, bracket-like serifs and subtly uneven stroke behavior that reads as intentionally handmade rather than mechanical. Letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with generous internal space, and curves have a slightly wobbly, inked contour that creates a lively texture in text. Serifs are blunt and bulb-tipped, with occasional asymmetry at joins and terminals that adds character without compromising overall consistency. Numerals and capitals follow the same soft, ink-trap-like detailing, producing a cohesive, gently irregular color across lines.
Well suited to display typography where personality is desired—posters, packaging, book covers, café menus, and event materials. It can also work for short-form text such as captions or pull quotes when a warm, nostalgic voice is appropriate.
The font conveys a vintage, typewriter-adjacent charm with a playful, slightly eccentric tone. Its rounded slab details and mild roughness suggest craft, nostalgia, and a friendly informality rather than strict editorial seriousness.
Likely designed to capture the warmth of old printing and typewriter-era slabs while keeping strokes simple and readable. The softened serifs and slight irregularities appear intended to add charm and approachability without turning into full distress or script-like calligraphy.
In continuous reading, the lively terminal shapes and small idiosyncrasies become part of the rhythm, giving text a textured, storybook feel. Spacing appears moderately open, helping the distinctive serifs remain legible even as the letterforms carry a hand-touched personality.
