A light, monoline slab serif with unbracketed, squared serifs and gently irregular, hand-set rhythm. Strokes keep a consistent thickness while curves are broad and rounded, giving bowls and counters an open, airy feel. Proportions are somewhat uneven across glyphs, with a noticeably casual width rhythm and slightly idiosyncratic details in joins and terminals that read as deliberately non-mechanical. The lowercase shows a straightforward, readable structure, while capitals stay simple and open with sturdy slab feet and small, squared finishing strokes.
It works well for editorial headlines and pull quotes, book or zine covers, and branding where a friendly slab serif can add personality without becoming overly decorative. The consistent stroke weight and open counters help it stay clear in short paragraphs, while the quirky rhythm gives extra character in titles, posters, and packaging.
The overall tone is approachable and lightly whimsical, balancing a bookish slab-serif foundation with a subtle handmade wobble. It evokes retro print and casual editorial settings—more charming than formal—while still feeling calm and legible.
The design appears intended to blend classic slab-serif cues with a human, slightly imperfect texture—aiming for readability first, but with enough eccentricity to feel distinctive in display and editorial contexts.
Spacing appears comfortable in text, with a gentle bounce created by small variations in glyph widths and the squarish serif accents. Numerals follow the same friendly, lightly irregular logic, keeping the set cohesive for simple display and short passages.
