A tall, condensed serif with gently rounded slab-like terminals and minimal stroke modulation. Letterforms are narrow with generous vertical emphasis, creating an airy rhythm and a lightly irregular, hand-drawn steadiness rather than strict geometric precision. Serifs read as soft, bulb-ended brackets, and joins and curves stay smooth and open, helping counters remain clear even in the tighter widths. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright structure with simple, readable forms.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, short subheads, posters, and cover titling where its tall, condensed silhouette can add character without taking much horizontal space. It also fits playful branding and packaging that benefits from a friendly, handcrafted voice.
The overall tone feels warm and whimsical, with a subtle handmade charm that recalls children’s books, indie packaging, and playful editorial headings. Its narrow, upright stance adds a slightly old-timey, theatrical flavor while the rounded terminals keep it approachable and non-severe.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with rounded, softened slabs for a contemporary handmade feel. Its condensed proportions suggest a focus on expressive titling and space-efficient impact, while the low-modulation strokes keep the texture even and approachable.
In text, the consistent vertical rhythm and soft serif endings create a distinctive texture that stands out without relying on strong contrast. The narrow proportions can make word shapes feel tall and delicate, so spacing and line length will strongly influence readability.
