A slender serif design with sharp, hairline terminals and gently flared serifs that read as crisp and refined rather than blocky. Strokes are predominantly thin with subtle modulation, and many forms show soft, calligraphic shaping—noticeable in the curved joins and the tapered ends on letters like S, J, and y. Proportions skew tall and columnar, with narrow interiors and a compact lowercase that sits low relative to the ascenders, giving the page an airy vertical rhythm. Details feel intentionally individualized: some glyphs feature slight hooks, asymmetric curves, or idiosyncratic entry strokes that create a decorative, boutique serif texture.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, pull quotes, book or album covers, and identity work where a refined yet characterful serif is desired. It can also work for short editorial passages or captions when set large enough to preserve the fine details and avoid a fragile texture.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish with a playful, slightly eccentric personality. It suggests classic editorial refinement, but the quirky, hand-influenced details add charm and a hint of whimsy—more storybook and boutique than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to offer a classic serif foundation with a more individual, decorative construction—pairing narrow, elegant proportions with nuanced, calligraphic terminals to produce a distinctive voice in display and editorial settings.
In text, the tightness of the letterforms and the fine serifs create a delicate color that benefits from generous point size and comfortable leading. Numerals keep the same thin, sculpted character, with distinctive curves on figures like 2, 3, and 5 that reinforce the decorative serif flavor.
