A delicate serif design with very slim proportions and pronounced stroke contrast. Stems are hairline-thin in places, with small flared serifs and tapered terminals that often finish in sharp, angled points. Curves are narrow and slightly irregular in a hand-drawn, calligraphic way, giving letters a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency. Capitals are tall and elegant, while lowercase forms keep a compact, readable structure with distinctive, idiosyncratic details in letters like a, g, j, and y. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast construction, with thin joins and fine finishing strokes.
Best suited to display applications where its thin hairlines and pointed details can be appreciated: book covers, chapter openers, editorial headlines, posters, event invitations, and boutique packaging. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but the delicate construction suggests using it where reproduction is clean and sizes are not too small.
The overall tone feels literary and characterful—more expressive than formal—suggesting a vintage, storybook atmosphere. Its spiky terminals and wiry contrast add a slightly mysterious, theatrical edge while still reading as refined and light on the page.
The letterforms appear designed to blend classic serif structure with a more unusual, illustrative finish—emphasizing slender elegance, dramatic contrast, and distinctive terminals to create a memorable, decorative text voice.
The design relies on fine hairlines and narrow counters, so texture becomes markedly more decorative as sizes get larger. The sharp, flared finishing strokes create a consistent “inked” sparkle across lines of text, and the condensed width makes lines feel tall and airy.
