This typeface presents a slim, upright letterform with lightly modulated strokes and small, bracketing wedge serifs that often feel slightly irregular from glyph to glyph. Curves are narrow and tall, with a gentle, hand-influenced wobble in stems and terminals that keeps the rhythm lively rather than mechanical. Counters are relatively open for the width, while joins and spurs (notably in letters like G, R, and the lowercase a/e) introduce distinctive hooks and angled endings. Numerals follow the same narrow, slightly off-kilter construction, giving the set a cohesive, handcrafted texture.
Best suited to display sizes where its narrow proportions and irregular serif details can be appreciated—headlines, short blurbs, and titling for posters, book covers, or packaging. It can also work for editorial display typography when a lightly vintage, offbeat tone is desired, but its lively shapes may feel busy in small, dense body text.
The overall tone is quirky and characterful, reading like a vintage storybook or boutique poster face rather than a strict text serif. Its narrow, animated forms convey a lightly eccentric, friendly voice—more playful than formal—without becoming overly rough or distressed.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif cues with a deliberately unconventional, hand-shaped construction, creating a recognizable voice that stands out in branding and titling. Its consistent narrow build and distinctive terminals suggest a focus on expressive readability and a memorable texture over strict typographic neutrality.
Round letters show a subtle forward-leaning tension and asymmetric terminals that add motion across words. The lowercase includes several idiosyncratic shapes (such as single-storey-style constructions and pronounced entry/exit strokes) that will be especially noticeable in longer passages, contributing to its distinctive personality.
