A light, monolinear serif with softly rounded slab-like serifs and gently curved terminals. Strokes keep an even weight with minimal contrast, and the letterforms show subtle irregularities that create a hand-drawn, slightly wobbly rhythm. Proportions are compact and somewhat condensed, with open bowls and moderate apertures that keep counters readable. The overall spacing feels airy, and the figures and lowercase share the same casual, rounded construction.
Works well for children’s publishing, playful packaging, café menus, event invitations, and boutique branding where a friendly serif is desired. It can also suit display and short-form text—headlines, pull quotes, or signage—where its lively, handmade rhythm is a feature.
The tone is playful and approachable, with a mild vintage classroom/storybook feel. Its soft slabs and imperfect rhythm read as human and informal rather than editorial or corporate, adding warmth and personality to short passages.
The design appears intended to blend the structure of a slab serif with rounded, hand-rendered softness, prioritizing charm and approachability over strict geometric precision. It aims for easy readability while maintaining a distinctive, whimsical texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Serifs tend to flare into rounded blocks rather than sharp brackets, and many joins and stroke endings have softened corners. Uppercase forms are simple and legible, while lowercase shapes lean into a casual, hand-lettered cadence that becomes more noticeable in longer text.
