A light, monoline serif with softly rounded slab-like terminals and subtly uneven stroke behavior that suggests a hand-drawn or lightly distressed construction. Curves are generous and open, with modestly tapered joins and small ball-like or bulbous endings on some strokes. Proportions are compact with relatively tall ascenders/descenders, and spacing feels airy, giving the letters a calm, readable rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same rounded, slightly quirky logic, keeping the texture consistent across the set.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and album covers, boutique branding, and packaging where a crafted, personable voice is desired. It can also work for posters and short display copy, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded terminals and subtle irregularities remain clear.
The font reads as friendly and unpretentious, with a quiet whimsy that feels literary and nostalgic rather than formal. Its soft slabs and gentle irregularities create a human, crafted tone—more storybook and indie than corporate or technical.
Likely designed to blend the stability of slab-like serifs with rounded, hand-touched warmth, creating an approachable display face that still holds together in longer lines. The intent appears to be a gentle, literary texture with just enough character to feel custom.
In the sample text, the delicate strokes and rounded slabs produce a light page color that works best when allowed some breathing room. The overall impression is cohesive, with a consistent approach to terminals and curvature that keeps long lines feeling warm and approachable.
