A delicate, monoline serif with soft, rounded slab-like terminals and gently curved joins. The letterforms are tall and compact with generous counters and a measured, even rhythm, giving lines of text a light, airy color. Serifs and terminals read more like small beads or rounded nubs than sharp brackets, and curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic without noticeable contrast. Overall spacing is tidy and controlled, supporting legibility while preserving a distinctive, idiosyncratic texture.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its delicate strokes and rounded slab details can be appreciated—editorial headlines, book covers, pull quotes, invitations, and boutique branding or packaging. It can also work for calm UI headings or labels when a friendly, crafted serif is desired, provided sizes and contrast are chosen to preserve its fine structure.
The tone feels literary and a bit playful—like a refined storybook face with a handmade quirk. Rounded terminals soften the mood, lending warmth and approachability while still reading as orderly and composed. The result is gently nostalgic, suggesting boutique editorial design rather than strict modernist neutrality.
This design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with softened, rounded slab terminals to create an approachable, distinctive voice. It prioritizes character and charm over strict neutrality, aiming for a readable but memorable texture in headlines and refined typographic settings.
Distinctive details include rounded spur-like endings and subtly unusual caps and numerals that add character without becoming overly decorative. The figures appear slender and open, matching the font’s light, elegant presence and keeping numerical strings from looking heavy.
