A slender slab-serif with monoline strokes and lightly bracketed, stubby serifs that read as hand-drawn rather than mechanical. The letterforms are tall and somewhat wiry, with open counters, small terminals, and gently uneven curves that add texture without becoming chaotic. Uppercase proportions feel classical and narrow, while the lowercase shows a notably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders, creating a vertical, airy rhythm. Numerals follow the same thin, slightly irregular construction, maintaining consistent color and spacing in text.
Best suited to display applications such as book covers, chapter openers, posters, invitations, and boutique packaging where a light, handcrafted slab-serif flavor is desired. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set generously, but its fine strokes and small lowercase proportions favor larger sizes and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is whimsical and storybook-like, suggesting a personal, crafted voice. Its delicate construction and subtle irregularities give it a vintage, slightly eccentric charm—more poetic than corporate.
The design appears intended to merge the structure of a slab-serif with an illustrative, hand-inked sensibility. It aims for an airy, approachable texture that feels literary and playful while remaining legible and upright.
In running text the font maintains a light, even typographic color, but the petite x-height and spindly details push it toward display sizes where its character reads clearly. Round forms (like O, Q, and g) emphasize the hand-rendered feel through gentle asymmetry and soft curve transitions.
