A very light, italic slab-serif with unbracketed, square-ended serifs and a wiry, drawn-stroke feel. Strokes show subtle irregularity and slightly uneven joins that create a gently faceted, polygonal impression in bowls and curves, especially in letters like C, G, O, and Q. Proportions are narrow-to-moderate with variable widths across the set; spacing feels open and the texture remains bright on the page. The lowercase has a modest x-height with tall, slender ascenders and descenders, and the italic slant is consistent without becoming overly calligraphic.
Best suited for short to medium-length text where personality is welcome—editorial headlines, pull quotes, book or zine covers, packaging copy, and boutique branding. It can work in longer passages at comfortable sizes thanks to its open spacing and moderate x-height, but its very light strokes and irregular rhythm make it most effective when given enough size and whitespace.
The font conveys a quirky, human, slightly whimsical tone—more sketchbook and literary than formal. Its lightness and crisp slab terminals give it a delicate, airy presence, while the irregular contours add charm and personality. Overall it feels curious, offbeat, and editorial in a handmade way.
Likely designed to blend a traditional slab-serif framework with a hand-rendered, lightly imperfect finish, creating a distinctive italic voice that feels crafted rather than mechanical. The consistent square serif vocabulary and faceted curves suggest an aim for characterful readability and a recognizable texture in display and editorial settings.
Caps are restrained and upright in structure but take the same italic lean, with crisp slab details on E/F/H/I and similarly squared terminals across the set. Numerals are thin and slightly idiosyncratic, matching the faceted curve language of the letters, which keeps long passages visually consistent in the sample text.
