A light, gently irregular serif with a hand-drawn feel and softened, bracketed serifs. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle swelling, and many terminals end in small rounded or teardrop-like bulbs that add warmth. The letterforms favor open bowls and generous curves, with slightly uneven stroke joins and a lively baseline rhythm that keeps the texture from feeling mechanical. Numerals follow the same airy, organic construction, with simple, readable forms and lightly stylized ends.
Well suited to titles, short passages, and display text where a gentle, handcrafted serif can add personality—such as children’s publishing, boutique packaging, café menus, greeting cards, and event invitations. It can also work for pull quotes or headings when you want a softer, more human tone than a conventional text serif.
The overall tone is friendly and playful, suggesting a storybook or artisanal sensibility rather than a formal editorial voice. Its soft terminals and slightly quirky details give it a charming, personable character that feels inviting and a bit nostalgic.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif construction with informal, hand-inked nuances, creating a readable but characterful face for friendly display and light editorial applications.
The italics are not shown; the style presented reads as upright roman throughout. The texture in paragraph setting remains light and breathable, with distinct letter shapes that stay recognizable despite the decorative terminal treatment.
