A lightly built serif with a narrow overall set and gently rounded slab-like terminals. Strokes stay relatively even, with soft transitions and subtly flared ends that read as rounded slabs rather than sharp brackets. Counters are open and circular, curves are smooth, and joins stay tidy, giving the face a calm, consistent rhythm despite its playful details. Capitals feel tall and lean, while the lowercase shows compact proportions and a modest x-height, helping ascenders and descenders stand out in running text.
Works well for editorial settings where a light, characterful serif can carry longer passages without feeling stiff. It also suits branding, packaging, and display text that benefits from a friendly, slightly quirky voice while maintaining readability and typographic structure.
The overall tone is approachable and slightly eccentric, combining a bookish, classic structure with softened, rounded finishing. It feels personable and a bit whimsical rather than formal, with a gentle retro flavor that suits warm, human-centered typography.
Appears designed to blend traditional serif legibility with softened, rounded slab terminals to create a distinctive but gentle personality. The intent reads as a text-capable face with enough idiosyncrasy to stand out in headlines and brand applications.
Numerals follow the same soft, rounded terminal logic and read clearly at text sizes. The design’s narrow spacing and light color create an airy page texture, while the rounded slab endings add distinctive character without becoming heavy or blunt.
