A slim, monoline slab-serif with tall, narrow proportions and gently rounded, bracket-like serifs. Strokes stay even with minimal contrast, giving the letters a light, wiry skeleton and a consistent vertical rhythm. Counters are compact and often oval, and curves are slightly irregular in a way that reads as human rather than mechanical. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright structure, with clear, simple shapes and modest terminals.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium passages where its narrow economy and delicate slab detailing can be appreciated—such as book covers, editorial pull quotes, posters, boutique branding, and packaging. It can also work for invitations or titling in layouts that benefit from a refined, slightly whimsical voice.
The overall tone is quiet and airy, with a touch of quirky charm. Its thin strokes and narrow stance feel refined and slightly old-world, while the rounded slab details add friendliness and a handmade, storybook character.
The design appears intended to provide a condensed, elegant slab-serif voice with softened, rounded terminals—balancing a classic reading feel with a subtle handcrafted personality for distinctive display typography.
In text, the font maintains a steady, column-like texture; tall extenders and compact widths create an elegant, elongated color on the line. The light weight and tight forms make it visually crisp at display sizes, while at smaller sizes the fine strokes and narrow counters may require comfortable sizing and generous spacing for clarity.
