A light, monoline serif with rounded, slab-like terminals and gently bracketed joins. Strokes stay even throughout, with softly curved corners that give the letters a drawn, slightly imperfect charm while remaining clearly constructed. Proportions are compact and vertical, with open counters and modest ascenders/descenders; the lowercase shows simple, readable forms (single-storey a and g) and softly curling terminals. Numerals follow the same rounded, upright rhythm, with clean, open shapes and minimal stroke modulation.
Well suited to book covers, short editorial headlines, pull quotes, and display sizes where a friendly serif voice is desired. It can also work for packaging, café/retail branding, and invitations or cards that benefit from a handcrafted, gentle look.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, blending a storybook sensibility with a quiet, scholarly feel. Rounded slabs and subtle irregularities add personality without becoming overly decorative, creating a gentle, human presence on the page.
Likely intended to offer a personable alternative to conventional slab serifs—keeping clear letterforms and steady rhythm while adding rounded terminals and a lightly hand-rendered character for warmth and approachability.
The font’s texture stays light and uncluttered, and the rounded serif treatment is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. It reads best when given a bit of breathing room, where the soft terminals and lively curves can register without crowding.
