A condensed, monoline serif with rounded slab-like terminals and soft corners throughout. Strokes maintain an even weight with minimal contrast, while curves and joins stay slightly irregular, giving the outlines a hand-drawn, inked feel. Proportions are tall and narrow with a lively, uneven rhythm; counters are compact but open enough to keep forms readable. Serifs are blunt and rounded rather than sharp, and many letters show gently flared ends and subtle asymmetries that reinforce the informal construction.
Best suited to display settings where personality is a priority: posters, packaging, shop signage, book covers, and playful editorial headings. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes at larger sizes, where the rounded slabs and handcrafted rhythm remain clear.
The overall tone is friendly and quirky, with a vintage, storybook personality. Its narrow, upright stance feels energetic and slightly mischievous, like a playful display face meant to add character rather than disappear into the page.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif structure with rounded, hand-rendered warmth, producing a compact display face that feels approachable and nostalgic. Its consistent monoline strokes and softened terminals aim for a distinctive texture that stays legible while conveying character.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent rounded terminal treatment, and the numerals follow the same narrow, slightly wobbly construction. The texture becomes more pronounced in longer text where the small irregularities create a charming, handmade color.
