A light, upright serif with rounded slab-like terminals and softly blunted corners. Strokes are low-contrast and generally even, with a gently drawn, slightly irregular line that reads like careful pen work rather than rigid geometry. Proportions are straightforward with a moderate x-height, open counters, and clear, uncluttered joins; spacing feels a touch airy, supporting readability while keeping a lively texture on the page.
Well-suited to short-to-medium body text, editorial layouts, and book typography where a light, friendly serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for approachable branding, packaging, and headings that benefit from a human, slightly quirky presence while remaining legible.
The overall tone is warm and personable, combining a bookish serif structure with a subtle handmade charm. Rounded terminals and mild eccentricities in curves and hooks give it an informal, inviting voice without tipping into novelty.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif legibility with softened slab-like endings and a lightly hand-rendered feel. It aims for clarity and charm in continuous reading, offering a distinctive texture that stays restrained and usable in practical typography.
Uppercase forms stay calm and classical in silhouette, while the lowercase introduces more personality through soft terminals, curved descenders, and gently asymmetric details. Numerals match the text color well and maintain the same rounded, lightly drawn finish for consistent rhythm in mixed settings.
