A monoline outline serif with an airy, hollow construction that traces only the outer contour of each stroke. Letterforms show gently irregular, hand-rendered outlines, with small wobbles and varied inner spacing that create a lively rhythm. Serifs are light and softly bracketed, and curves tend to be round and open, with occasional flourish-like terminals (notably in letters such as J, g, y, and some numerals). Proportions are generally classic and readable, with moderate ascenders/descenders and comfortable counters despite the outline treatment.
Well-suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, book covers, and event materials where the outline texture can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging, greeting cards, and invitation design, especially when paired with a solid text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels playful and literary, like inked lettering from a vintage children’s book or a whimsical poster. Its delicate outlines and subtle quirks give it a friendly, informal charm rather than a strict editorial or corporate voice.
The design appears intended to mimic lightly sketched, ink-outline lettering with a classic serif structure, combining traditional proportions with a more illustrative, decorative finish. The hollow strokes and gentle irregularity suggest it was built for expressive display use rather than dense, small-size reading.
The outline construction makes interior negative space a key part of the design, so the face reads best when given enough size or contrast against the background. In longer passages the thin double contours can visually shimmer, while in short settings they add texture and personality.
