A narrow serif with a lively, slightly irregular construction and a calligraphic feel. Strokes show gentle tapering and moderate contrast, with flared, wedge-like serifs and occasional spur-like terminals that add a prickly texture. Curves are somewhat pinched and teardrop-shaped in places, and the overall rhythm feels intentionally uneven rather than mechanically uniform. Uppercase forms are tall and slender, while the lowercase is compact with a small x-height and relatively long ascenders and descenders, producing an elegant but eccentric vertical profile. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions, with distinctive curves and pointed details that keep them characterful in display settings.
Well suited to display typography such as book covers, chapter titles, posters, and branding moments that want a whimsical or old-world tone. It can work for short excerpts or pull quotes at larger sizes, where the narrow proportions help fit longer phrases while the decorative serif details remain legible.
The tone reads theatrical and storybook-like—more curious and expressive than formal. Its idiosyncratic serifs and slightly offbeat shapes evoke vintage display typography, suggesting whimsy, folklore, and a lightly spooky or magical flavor without becoming heavy or distressed.
The design appears aimed at delivering a distinctive, character-led serif for display use, combining traditional serif structure with quirky, hand-influenced terminals to create an illustrative, narrative voice.
The texture becomes more animated in running text where the varying widths and energetic terminals create a sparkling, jittery color. The narrow set and tall proportions make it feel space-conscious while still decorative, best used where its distinctive silhouette can be appreciated.
