A very light serif with monoline-like stroke weight and softly bracketed slab serifs. The outlines show subtle irregularities that read as hand-inked rather than mechanically perfect, with small flares at terminals and slightly wobbly curves. Proportions are modest and readable, with relatively open counters and a gentle, varied rhythm in curves and joints. Numerals and caps keep the same delicate, lightly structured feel, avoiding heavy contrast while relying on serif presence and curvature to define the forms.
Works well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, book or chapbook covers, and brand marks that want a refined but human feel. It can also suit invitations and packaging where a light, crafted serif texture is desirable; for long passages, it will benefit from comfortable sizes and spacing to maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels literary and lightly antique, like a storybook or small-press text face with a personal, crafted touch. Its slight quirkiness adds warmth and character without becoming overtly decorative, giving it a charming, informal classicism.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif structure with a lightly hand-drawn, monoline sensibility—prioritizing charm and readability over strict geometric regularity. It aims to evoke traditional print letterforms while keeping a contemporary, approachable softness.
Serifs are present on most strokes and often appear as small slabs with rounded joins, contributing to a soft, friendly texture on the line. The font’s delicate weight and fine details suggest it will look best when given enough size or print/hi‑res conditions to preserve the thin strokes and small terminals.
