A delicate serif with gently flared, bracketed terminals and subtly tapered strokes that feel drawn rather than engineered. The letterforms are tall and slightly condensed with an even color on the page, while the curves and joins show small, humanist irregularities that add rhythm. Serifs are modest but expressive—often wedge-like or softly hooked—giving both capitals and lowercase a lightly decorative silhouette without heavy contrast.
This font suits display-oriented editorial use such as book covers, chapter titles, pull quotes, and cultural headlines where a classic serif voice with added personality is desired. It can also work well for packaging or posters that benefit from a vintage, storybook tone, especially at medium to large sizes where its terminal details remain clear.
The overall tone is literary and slightly playful, like a classic book face with a hand-touched, fairy-tale sensibility. Its narrow, elegant forms feel refined and nostalgic, while the quirky terminal shapes keep it personable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with a lightly unconventional, hand-influenced construction, creating a familiar reading texture with distinctive, decorative finishing. It aims to feel elegant yet approachable, offering character for titling while maintaining a coherent text rhythm.
Capitals read stately and simplified, while the lowercase introduces more character through curled terminals and asymmetric details (notably in letters like a, e, f, g, and y). Numerals are slender and open, with gentle curves and small finishing strokes that match the serif language of the alphabet.
