A delicate display serif with extremely thin hairlines and stronger vertical stems, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. The overall construction is tall and narrow, with long ascenders/descenders and a notably small x-height that emphasizes capitals and extenders. Serifs are fine and often sharpened into wedge-like points, with occasional quirky hooks and tapered terminals that give strokes a hand-drawn, calligraphic feel. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and crossbars stay minimal, keeping the color light and airy across text.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short passages where its delicate contrast and quirky serif details can be appreciated. It can add character to book covers, editorial feature headings, boutique branding, and packaging, especially when set with generous tracking and ample whitespace. For long body text, it will generally work better at larger sizes where fine hairlines remain clear.
The tone is refined but idiosyncratic—part classical book serif, part playful oddball. Its spiky details and slender proportions feel theatrical and slightly gothic, while the clean upright stance keeps it composed and formal. Overall it reads as elegant, vintage-minded, and intentionally stylized rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif through an unusually narrow, high-contrast lens, adding expressive pointed serifs and whimsical terminals for distinctive display use. Its restrained upright structure suggests an aim for legibility in titles, while the stylized details provide a memorable signature.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent narrow rhythm, but the sharp terminals and thin connecting strokes create a lively texture that becomes more noticeable as size decreases. Numerals follow the same slender, high-contrast logic, with distinctive curves and thin entry/exit strokes that add personality.
