A delicate, spidery serif with long, tapering strokes and subtle flared terminals that feel lightly calligraphic. The letterforms are narrow and tall with generous internal space, and the serifs read as fine hairline hooks rather than bracketed slabs. Curves are smooth and open (notably in C/O), while joins and cross-strokes often thin down sharply, creating an airy rhythm. Uppercase proportions lean classical, but the set mixes in idiosyncratic details—such as a distinctive Q tail and varied, slightly eccentric stroke endings—that give the design an intentionally offbeat texture.
Best suited to display sizes where its fine terminals and quirky details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or editorial titling, packaging, and invitation work. It can add character to short passages or pull quotes, but will be most effective when given breathing room and sufficient size.
The font conveys a curious, storybook kind of energy—elegant at a glance, but with odd little twists that make it feel mischievous and handmade. Its light, wiry construction reads as refined yet quirky, lending a whimsical tone rather than a strictly formal one.
The design appears intended to blend a familiar serif skeleton with playful, irregular detailing, producing a distinctive voice that feels literary and slightly eccentric. It prioritizes personality and a hand-touched texture over strict neutrality, aiming to stand out in expressive display settings.
In text, the thin strokes and sharp tapers create a high sparkle and a noticeable, almost drawn quality. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same wiry logic, with open bowls and fine terminals that keep the overall color light and animated.
