A condensed, hand-drawn serif with tall proportions, gently tapered strokes, and subtle contrast that reads like ink on paper. The letterforms show slightly irregular widths and spacing, with rounded shoulders and soft, sometimes bulb-like terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming messy. Serifs are small and often bracketed, appearing more suggested than rigid, while counters stay open and legible. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright stance, with simple, graphic shapes and a slightly uneven baseline feel typical of drawn type.
This style works well for display use such as headlines, posters, packaging, and editorial pull quotes where a handcrafted tone is desired. It can also serve short passages in invitations, menus, and book-cover typography, especially when you want a narrow footprint with a warm, analog texture.
The overall tone is friendly and human, combining a vintage bookish flavor with an informal, homemade charm. It feels approachable and lightly whimsical rather than formal, giving text a personable voice that suggests craft, storytelling, or small-batch authenticity.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of hand-lettered print—serifed and upright, but intentionally imperfect—balancing clarity with personality. Its narrow proportions and consistent stroke economy suggest it was drawn to be space-efficient while still delivering a distinctive, artisanal voice.
In running text the narrow set and tall ascenders create an economical, vertical rhythm, while the hand-rendered irregularities add character at larger sizes. The texture is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, with enough restraint to remain readable but enough quirks to avoid a mechanical look.
