A very light slab serif with crisp, mostly unbracketed terminals and a slightly irregular, hand-set rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thin with minimal modulation, while the square-ended serifs add a clear baseline and cap-line structure without feeling heavy. Proportions lean narrow-to-moderate with a short x-height and relatively tall ascenders, giving lowercase an airy, vertical posture. Curves are open and gently rounded, and small idiosyncrasies (notably in diagonals, joins, and terminals) create a subtly uneven texture that reads intentional rather than distressed.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine styling, and cover work where a light serif with personality is desired. It can also add a crafted, boutique tone to packaging, labels, menus, and posters, particularly when set with ample leading and moderate tracking.
The overall tone is bookish and gently whimsical, suggesting vintage printing, classroom readers, or lightly eccentric editorial work. Its light color and tidy serif shapes keep it polite and legible, while the imperfect rhythm adds personality and a crafted, human touch.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of slab serifs with a more human, lightly irregular drawing, offering a friendly alternative to strictly geometric or industrial slabs. It prioritizes a refined, airy texture and a distinctive voice for display and editorial settings over dense, small-size economy.
In text, the short x-height and thin strokes create a delicate page color that benefits from comfortable sizes and generous spacing. Numerals and capitals share the same spare, slightly quirky construction, helping headings and pull quotes feel cohesive with body text.
