A decorative serif with a deliberately irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes are mostly monoline with gently swelling curves and small flare-like terminals that read as soft slab serifs. Counters are open and rounded, joins are slightly lumpy, and many curves show subtle wobble, giving the face a stamped or cut-paper feel. Lowercase forms stay compact with simple bowls and a single-storey a and g; ascenders and descenders are prominent, and the numerals follow the same uneven, organic modeling.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and playful editorial callouts. It can work well in children-oriented or lighthearted themes where an intentionally imperfect, handmade texture is desirable.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, with a friendly vintage charm. Its uneven contours and soft, blobby terminals create a whimsical, crafty voice that feels more illustrative than typographic, like lettering from a children’s book or an eccentric poster.
The letterforms appear designed to prioritize personality and recognizable shapes over strict regularity, aiming for a whimsical, handmade display look. The soft flared terminals and uneven curves suggest an intention to evoke vintage craft lettering and add character to titles and branding moments.
The design leans on distinctive silhouettes rather than strict consistency, so texture becomes a key part of its identity. At larger sizes the quirky terminals and wobble read as intentional character; in dense settings the irregularity can become visually busy.
