A tall, monoline serif with softly rounded slab-like serifs and gently irregular contours that suggest a hand-rendered origin. Strokes remain thin and even, with narrow interior counters and a vertical, lightly condensed stance. The curves are narrow and upright, and joins tend to be slightly pinched, creating a lively rhythm without becoming messy. Numerals and punctuation follow the same spindly, rounded treatment, keeping a consistent, airy texture in running text.
Best suited to display contexts where its tall proportions and hand-drawn character can be appreciated—titles, book covers, posters, packaging, and pull quotes. It can work for short paragraphs in editorial or invitations when a light, whimsical texture is desired, but its thin strokes and narrow counters suggest using comfortable sizes and spacing for readability.
The overall tone is quirky and charming, with a storybook sensibility that feels personal rather than mechanical. Its slim, slightly imperfect forms add a whimsical, vintage-notebook flavor that reads as friendly and lightly eccentric.
The design appears intended to blend a slender, upright serif structure with rounded slab-like terminals to create a distinctive, handcrafted voice. It aims for personality and charm over strict geometric regularity, offering a decorative text color that remains coherent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Ascenders and capitals are notably tall, giving headlines a stretched, theatrical presence. The rounded slab serifs and softened terminals keep the thin strokes from feeling brittle, while the subtle irregularities add texture that becomes more apparent at larger sizes.
