A narrow, lightly built serif with softly bracketed, slab-like serifs and rounded terminals that keep the texture gentle rather than sharp. Strokes stay fairly even with minimal contrast, giving the letters a steady, typographic rhythm. Proportions are tall and slim, with generous verticality in capitals and prominent ascenders/descenders; the lowercase shows compact bodies with open bowls and clear joins. Curves are slightly elastic and humanized, and the serifs often end with subtle bulb-like rounding that reads cleanly at text sizes.
Works well for editorial settings where a narrow serif is useful for fitting more characters per line without feeling cramped. The softened serifs and even color make it suitable for book and magazine typography, as well as packaging, labels, and identity work that benefits from a warm, slightly whimsical serif voice.
The overall tone is friendly and literary, with a faintly old-world, storybook character. Its narrow stance and softened details suggest a calm, personable voice—more charming than formal—suited to approachable editorial or boutique branding.
Likely designed to offer a space-efficient serif with a personable, rounded finish—combining the sturdiness of slab-like serifs with a softer, more approachable tone. The consistent stroke weight and restrained detailing point to a practical text-and-display hybrid aimed at comfortable reading and distinctive headings.
In running text, the font forms an airy column with noticeable vertical emphasis and tidy spacing. Numerals follow the same slender, softly serifed construction, with simple, readable shapes that feel consistent with the letterforms.
