A slender slab-serif with rounded, softened terminals and a largely monoline stroke. The serifs read as small, blunt slabs with curved corners rather than sharp brackets, giving the outlines a friendly, drawn feel. Proportions are tall and condensed, with generous counters and open apertures; curves (C, O, G, e) stay smooth and simple, while joins remain clean and minimally stressed. The lowercase shows a modest x-height with long ascenders/descenders, and the overall spacing feels light and breathable, producing a delicate texture in text.
Well-suited to display roles such as headlines, titles, book covers, and short editorial callouts where its tall, airy texture can breathe. It also fits artisanal branding and packaging that benefit from a friendly slab-serif voice without heavy weight. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve clarity and avoid a spindly feel.
The tone is quirky and approachable, with a slightly old-fashioned, bookish charm. Its narrow, tall rhythm and rounded slabs suggest a playful, crafted personality—more storybook and boutique than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif structure with rounded, hand-touched softness, creating a distinctive narrow display face that stays readable while projecting charm and personality.
Figures are simple and legible with a consistent, understated presence that matches the letters. The italic is not shown; the sample maintains an even, upright cadence and benefits from ample leading for comfortable reading at display-to-subhead sizes.
