A wiry slab-serif with narrow, slightly uneven strokes and crisp, unbracketed terminals that read as small wedges or squared slabs. Letterforms are generally upright with a gently hand-drawn wobble in stems and bowls, producing subtly inconsistent contours and a lively baseline rhythm. Counters are open and somewhat squarish, with angular joins and occasional sharp entry/exit strokes that feel pen-led rather than mechanically constructed. Spacing appears moderately loose in text, helping the thin strokes and small serifs stay distinct.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture is welcome: book covers, chapter titles, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can work for pull quotes or UI headings when a handcrafted tone is desired, but its thin strokes and lively irregularity make it less ideal for dense body text at small sizes.
The overall tone is handmade and rustic, with a storybook or folklore flavor. Its uneven edge quality and sharp little serifs give it a slightly mysterious, old-world personality—more “ink on parchment” than contemporary minimalism.
The design appears intended to evoke a handcrafted slab-serif voice—combining sturdy, square-joined serifs with a light, pen-drawn stroke to create character and narrative atmosphere. It prioritizes texture and personality over strict geometric regularity, aiming for distinctive display impact.
The capitals show a mix of squarish geometry and pointed calligraphic details, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, monoline-like feel with small slabby feet and occasional spur-like flicks. Numerals follow the same angular, inked construction, keeping the set cohesive for display use.
