A light, monoline slab serif with square-ended terminals and softly rounded corners, giving the strokes a tubular, outlined feel. The serifs are blocky and blunt, often appearing as short horizontal caps that accent the tops and feet, while curves are built from slightly flattened arcs and gentle squarish turns. Proportions and spacing show deliberate irregularities—some letters run wide (notably W/M), while others stay compact—creating a lively, variable rhythm across words. Counters tend to be open and geometric, and the overall construction reads as carefully hand-shaped rather than mechanically rigid.
Best suited to display use where its personality can be appreciated: headlines, posters, packaging, and branding elements that want a hand-made or retro flavor. It can work for short passages in larger sizes, especially in quotes, captions, or themed editorial moments where a quirky slab serif adds character.
The font conveys a playful, slightly eccentric tone—part vintage display, part handwritten signage. Its uneven cadence and squared-off slab details give it a charming, crafty personality that feels informal and human, with a faintly whimsical, storybook edge.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif sturdiness with a hand-drawn, square-geometric construction, prioritizing distinctive texture and charm over strict uniformity. It aims to read clearly at display sizes while adding a memorable, crafted voice to titles and brand marks.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified, geometric skeletons (e.g., squarish C/G/O and a flat-topped E/F), while lowercase includes distinctive, idiosyncratic shapes such as a single-storey “a” and an “e” with a boxy bowl. The numerals follow the same squared, lightly irregular construction, maintaining consistency with the letterforms.
