A light, monoline serif with softened, slab-like terminals and gently rounded corners. The drawing feels slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with subtle wobble in curves and small asymmetries that keep the texture lively. Caps are narrow and open with simple, understated serifs, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through looping bowls, compact joins, and a single-storey a and g. Numerals follow the same airy construction, with smooth curves and modest foot-like terminals rather than sharp breaks.
This font suits short to medium text where a warm, handcrafted serif is desired—display lines, titles, pull quotes, and packaging copy. It can also work for editorial accents or playful branding, especially when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height.
The overall tone is friendly and storybook-like, suggesting a casual, human touch rather than strict typographic precision. Its soft terminals and lightly quirky rhythm make it feel approachable and charming, with a gentle vintage or classroom note.
The design appears intended to blend a slab-serif structure with rounded, handwritten softness, creating a readable serif that feels informal and personable. It aims for charm and character over strict geometric consistency, producing a distinctive, light-textured voice.
In text, the light weight and open counters keep paragraphs bright, but the idiosyncratic shapes (notably in curves and diagonals) read as a stylistic feature and become more noticeable at larger sizes. The dot forms and small serifs add sparkle without introducing strong contrast.
