A softly drawn serif with rounded slab-like terminals and a monoline feel. Strokes stay even and clean, with gentle curves and subtly tapered joins that keep the texture light. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, and the rhythm is irregular enough to feel human rather than mechanical. Counters are open and simple, while details like the curved tail on Q and the single-storey a and g reinforce an informal, crafted character.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where a personable, retro-leaning voice is desired—such as packaging, café/retail signage, posters, book covers, and editorial headings. It can also serve for readable pull quotes and light body copy at comfortable sizes, where its soft serifs and open forms maintain a pleasant texture.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lightly nostalgic, storybook sensibility. Rounded terminals and playful proportions give it a casual charm that reads as friendly and slightly quirky rather than formal.
Likely designed to blend the structure of a slab serif with rounded, hand-touched detailing, creating a distinctive but approachable display face. The aim appears to be legibility with character—keeping forms simple and consistent while adding warmth through soft terminals and slightly quirky proportions.
Capitals are tall and slender with restrained serifs, while lowercase forms keep a lively, handwritten cadence (notably in j, y, and g). Numerals match the same monoline construction and rounded finishing, maintaining consistent color in text.
