A narrow, high-contrast serif with softly bracketed, slightly flared terminals and a subtly hand-inked feel. Stems are slender with pronounced thick–thin modulation, and many strokes end in small bulb/ball-like terminals that give the outlines a lively, stamped quality. The lowercase shows rounded bowls and gently pinched joins, while capitals stay relatively compact with curved, tapering arms and modest, uneven-looking serifs that read more like inked finishes than rigid wedges. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with elegant curves and fine hairline connections.
Well suited to display settings where character is desirable: book covers, chapter openers, magazine headlines, boutique packaging, and theatrical or event posters. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, but its narrow proportions and high contrast favor larger text and generous spacing for best clarity.
The overall tone feels literary and old-world, with a playful, slightly eccentric warmth rather than strict formality. Its irregular terminal behavior and bouncy curves suggest a vintage print or storybook mood, balancing classic serif structure with decorative charm.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic serif voice with a decorative, hand-inked twist—prioritizing personality and a vintage print atmosphere while remaining readable and structurally grounded.
Letterforms maintain consistent contrast and a coherent rhythm, but small variations in serif shape and terminal bulbs add character in continuous text. The italics are not shown; the upright roman carries the expressive energy through tapered arms, curled terminals, and softly rounded counters.
