A compact, tall-proportioned slab serif with softly rounded terminals and bracketed, bulb-like slab endings that read as gentle rather than sharp. Strokes stay largely even, giving a steady texture, while subtle curvature and occasional flare keep the outlines lively. The overall set is narrow with generous verticality; counters are relatively tight and many letters feel slightly condensed, producing a crisp, columnar rhythm. Uppercase forms are clean and restrained, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curved joins, varied shoulder shapes, and distinctive descenders that add movement without tipping into cursive.
It suits short-to-medium display settings where a distinctive, narrow serif texture is useful: headlines, pull quotes, packaging labels, posters, and book or chapter titles. It can also work for compact subheads and UI titles when a friendly, old-style flavor is desired, though its strong personality will be most effective when given some breathing room.
The font conveys a warm, slightly eccentric tone—part vintage print, part playful handmade signage. Its rounded slabs and narrow stance feel approachable and a bit theatrical, suggesting storytelling, craft, and nostalgic editorial charm rather than corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdiness and clarity of slab serifs with softened, rounded finishing for a more inviting, character-driven look. Its narrow proportions and steady stroke weight suggest a focus on compact display typography that remains legible while projecting a nostalgic, handcrafted sensibility.
Text samples show strong line-to-line consistency and clear word shapes, with a noticeable contrast between the calmer uppercase and the more characterful lowercase. Numerals match the narrow, upright feel and keep the same rounded slab finishing, supporting a cohesive typographic voice in mixed alphanumeric settings.
