A compact, tall-proportioned slab-serif with a subtly irregular, hand-cut feel. Strokes are generally even but show gentle swell and taper, with flat-ended slabs and occasional wedge-like joins that give the outlines a slightly carved rhythm. Counters are relatively small and openings can be tight, while the short lowercase encourages a bouncy vertical cadence. Numerals and capitals keep the same narrow stance and lightly inconsistent widths, reinforcing an organic, non-mechanical texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its narrow footprint and playful slab character can add personality—headlines, posters, book covers, packaging, and identity accents. It can work for short passages when set with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing to offset its tight counters and compact lowercase.
The overall tone is quirky and storybook-like, with a rustic, vintage poster sensibility. Its imperfect geometry and narrow, upright stance suggest something handmade and personable rather than corporate or purely functional.
Likely designed to evoke a vintage, hand-rendered slab-serif look that stays legible while adding charm and eccentricity. The narrow build and lively irregularities appear intended to create strong vertical emphasis and a distinctive voice in display typography.
In running text the texture reads lively due to the alternating narrow widths, tight apertures, and the occasional asymmetric details in terminals and slabs. The font holds a strong vertical presence, with capitals that feel prominent relative to the lowercase.
