A lively serif with thin hairlines and sharply tapered stems, mixing crisp triangular terminals with soft bracketed serifs. The forms show slight irregularity and gentle curvature that reads as hand-inked rather than mechanically rigid, while maintaining an upright, bookish skeleton. Capitals are relatively tall and narrow with pointed apexes and flared feet, and lowercase includes distinctive, stylized details such as a single-storey “a”, a curled “g”, and a narrow, hook-ended “f”. Numerals are slender and classic in stance, with noticeable contrast and delicate joins.
This design suits titles, chapter heads, pull quotes, and short passages where a classic, characterful serif is desired. It can work well for posters, invitations, and boutique packaging that benefit from a vintage or storybook voice. For longer text, it is likely best used at moderate-to-large sizes where the thin strokes remain clear.
The overall tone feels literary and slightly whimsical—evoking vintage print, storytelling, and old-world signage more than neutral editorial typography. Its sharp tapering and idiosyncratic terminals add a faintly theatrical, gothic-tinged elegance without becoming heavy or ornate.
The font appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction with a more expressive, hand-drawn flavor—keeping classical proportions while adding tapered strokes, flicked terminals, and slightly quirky letterfit for distinctive display typography.
Stroke endings frequently resolve into pointed wedges or flicked terminals, giving the rhythm a dancing texture across words. Spacing appears comfortable for display sizes, but the finest hairlines and tight interior spaces suggest it will look best when given enough size and contrast on the page.
