A slender, monoline slab serif with tall proportions, generous internal space, and softly rounded corners that keep the geometry from feeling rigid. Serifs read as small, square terminals applied crisply to stems, while many joins and stroke endings are subtly curved, giving the outlines a drawn, wire-like continuity. The overall rhythm is upright-to-slightly-slanted with narrow letterforms and open apertures; curves are smooth and often a bit squarish (notably in bowls and rounded characters), producing a tidy but idiosyncratic texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, short editorial titles, packaging, and brand marks where a distinctive, lightweight slab flavor can set a tone. It can also work for pull quotes or interface accents at larger sizes, where its thin strokes and quirky details remain clear.
The tone feels lighthearted and eccentric—part typewriter-meets-neon-sign—with a gentle, friendly presence rather than strict formalism. Its thin strokes and soft corners add a refined, airy feel, while the quirky construction of several forms lends personality and a mildly retro, boutique character.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif structure with a lightly stylized, hand-influenced outline—prioritizing personality, elegance, and a recognizable rhythm over strictly conventional text neutrality. It aims to deliver a distinctive voice in display settings while keeping a coherent, monoline system across letters and numerals.
In the samples, spacing appears comfortable for display sizes, and the thin, even strokes create a clean, consistent color. Several glyphs lean into distinctive, slightly unconventional shapes (for example in the diagonals and bowls), which adds charm but also makes it feel more expressive than neutral.
