A lightly built, monoline serif with softened, slab-like terminals and gently rounded joins. Strokes maintain an even weight with minimal contrast, while letterforms show subtle irregularities that mimic pen-drawn construction. Curves are open and slightly oval, counters are modest, and spacing feels airy with a lively, uneven rhythm. Ascenders rise prominently over a relatively small lowercase body, contributing to a tall, slightly wiry silhouette.
Works best for display and short to medium text where its whimsical rhythm can be appreciated—such as children’s publishing, boutique packaging, café menus, invitations, and playful branding. It can also add a handcrafted accent in posters or pull quotes, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a casual, handmade charm. Its rounded terminals and mild wobble read as warm and personable rather than formal, evoking a nostalgic, craft-oriented feel suited to expressive, characterful typography.
The design appears intended to blend serif structure with a friendly, hand-drawn softness, offering legibility with personality. It aims to feel informal and human, balancing simple construction with expressive terminals and a lightly irregular texture.
The font’s personality comes from small idiosyncrasies in stroke endings and the way curves taper into soft serifs, giving lines a buoyant cadence in text. Numerals follow the same gentle, hand-rendered logic, keeping the set cohesive for mixed alphanumeric use.
