A slender serif face with lightly bracketed, slab-like terminals and a monoline feel, softened by subtle waviness and irregular stroke edges. Proportions are tall and narrow, with compact lowercase and long ascenders/descenders that create a rangy vertical rhythm. Curves stay open and airy, while many joins and terminals show small hooks and flicks that read as inked or hand-drawn rather than strictly geometric. Figures are similarly narrow and slightly idiosyncratic, matching the lively texture of the letters.
Well suited to display and short-to-medium text where a personable, slightly vintage texture is desirable—such as book covers, children’s titles, editorial sidebars, menus, and packaging. It also works for posters and pull quotes that benefit from a narrow, tall footprint and a handcrafted voice.
The overall tone is playful and slightly eccentric, with a storybook warmth and a handmade personality. Its crisp, wiry forms keep it legible, but the uneven, ink-like details add charm and a touch of whimsy rather than formality.
The design appears aimed at combining slab-serif sturdiness with a drawn, imperfect surface, creating a readable face that feels human and characterful. Its narrow proportions and tall extenders suggest an intention to fit lively headlines and compact settings while retaining a distinctive, whimsical flavor.
In running text, the narrow set and tall extenders produce a distinctive, lightly clattering rhythm, with noticeable character in letters like g, y, and Q. The capitals feel decorative without becoming ornate, making the face expressive while still usable for short passages.
