A delicate serif design with slender, mostly even-weight strokes and subtly bracketed slab-like terminals that read as lightly drawn rather than mechanically constructed. Proportions are tall and compact, with generous sidebearings and a restrained x-height that gives the lowercase a floating, open feel. Curves are slightly uneven and organic, with mild wobble in straights and rounded joins that suggest pen or fine brush movement. Capitals are narrow and elegant, while the lowercase mixes simple, open bowls with occasional playful hooks and asymmetries, producing a lively texture in text.
This face works best where a distinctive, delicate serif voice is needed—book and magazine display, boutique branding, packaging, invitations, and short editorial headlines. It can set brief text passages legibly at comfortable sizes, but its fine strokes and whimsical rhythm are especially effective in display roles.
The overall tone is whimsical and literary, combining an old-book charm with a handmade, sketchbook spontaneity. Its thin presence feels gentle and airy, more evocative than authoritative, lending a quirky personality to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to capture a monoline, lightly slabbed serif look with a human, hand-rendered character—bridging classic serif proportions with an intentionally imperfect, drawn finish for expressive typography.
The numerals and punctuation echo the same lightly irregular drawing style, with soft corners and small, tapering terminals that keep the color light on the page. Spacing appears intentionally loose, helping maintain clarity despite the fine strokes.
