A light, upright slab-serif with a distinctly hand-rendered rhythm. Strokes are mostly even in weight with small, square-ended serifs and occasional wedge-like terminals, giving the outlines a slightly spiky, cut-paper feel. Curves are a bit lopsided and organic rather than geometric, and joins vary subtly, creating an intentionally uneven texture across words. Proportions are compact with modest extenders, and spacing feels airy, letting the delicate serifs and irregular contours stay clear in text.
Well suited to display and short-to-medium text where a lively, illustrated voice is desired—book covers and chapter heads, children’s materials, boutique packaging, posters, and editorial callouts. It can also work for brand marks or labels that benefit from a handmade, slightly eccentric serif presence.
The overall tone is whimsical and storybook-like, with a playful, crafty charm that feels more human than mechanical. Its slight wobble and sharp little serifs suggest vintage illustration, handmade signage, or literary ephemera rather than corporate polish.
The design appears aimed at delivering a slab-serif structure with a deliberately imperfect, hand-drawn finish—combining clear letterforms with a decorative, characterful surface for expressive typography.
Uppercase forms read crisp and display-friendly, while the lowercase adds extra personality through varied bowls and idiosyncratic terminals. Numerals match the light, informal construction and keep a simple, open structure that maintains the font’s breezy texture.
