A light, monoline serif with wide proportions and generous spacing, built from smooth curves and straight strokes that end in rounded, ball-like terminals. Serifs are minimal and softened into small, flared or rounded feet rather than sharp brackets, giving the outlines a gentle, crafted feel. The glyphs keep an upright stance with clean, open counters and slightly irregular, humanist proportions that add charm without looking distressed or rough.
Best suited for headlines, short passages, and branding where a light, charming serif can carry personality. It would work well on packaging, boutique identity systems, invitations, and children’s or educational materials where friendliness and distinct letterforms are helpful. For long-form body copy, it will be most effective at comfortable sizes with ample line spacing.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a whimsical, storybook character. Rounded terminals and softened serifs make it feel friendly and informal, suggesting a hand-drawn or calligraphic influence while remaining clearly typographic and tidy.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif structure with decorative, rounded finishing to create a distinctive, approachable voice. Its wide stance and ball-terminal details prioritize charm and recognizability over strict neutrality, positioning it as a characterful serif for display-forward typography.
Capitals read airy and decorative, while the lowercase shows playful details such as curled or hooked terminals and rounded entry/exit strokes. Numerals share the same soft, rounded finishing, helping text and display settings feel cohesive rather than strictly utilitarian.
