A light, wiry slab-serif with largely monoline strokes and gently bracketed, flattened serifs. Letterforms are narrow and upright, with slightly uneven curves and stroke joins that give a subtly hand-rendered feel rather than strict geometric precision. The lowercase shows compact bowls and open apertures, while punctuation and numerals keep the same delicate, consistent line weight. Overall spacing and widths vary naturally across glyphs, creating an organic rhythm in text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book covers, posters, and branding that wants a friendly, handcrafted flavor while remaining legible. It can also work for labels and packaging where a light, vintage-leaning slab serif adds character without heavy contrast.
The tone feels charming and informal—like printed type with a human touch—balancing readability with a quirky, storybook personality. Its soft slab details and slightly irregular shaping evoke a vintage, literary mood without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to merge a slab-serif structure with an intentionally human, slightly imperfect drawing style, producing a light-textured face that feels approachable and distinctive in both titling and short text settings.
Distinctive details include the curled descender on the lowercase g, the looped/curved tail on q, and a simple, lightly serifed cap set that stays crisp at display sizes. In longer lines, the narrow proportions and light color produce an airy texture, while the slab serifs help keep word shapes stable.
