A delicate slab serif with unbracketed, square-ended serifs and a gently calligraphic, right-leaning posture. Strokes are thin and even, with a light, airy color and subtle tapering at terminals that keeps the forms lively rather than rigid. Proportions feel compact through the lowercase, with a relatively small x-height and tall ascenders/descenders; counters are open and the rhythm is relaxed. Capitals are refined and narrow-to-moderate in presence, while the figures are similarly slender and slightly informal in construction.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a distinctive, cultured voice is desired. Its slender weight and whimsical movement make it a strong choice for book covers, event invitations, boutique branding, and packaging—especially where an elegant but characterful serif is needed.
The overall tone is literary and whimsical, suggesting a lightly handmade sensibility rather than strict, mechanized slab serif formality. It reads as charming and slightly eccentric—more storybook and boutique than corporate—while still retaining a clear serif structure.
Likely designed to blend the structural clarity of a slab serif with the expressive motion of an italic hand, creating a refined display text face with an intentionally offbeat, human cadence. The design prioritizes charm and personality while remaining readable in continuous sample text.
The italic-like slant and crisp, square serifs create an interesting tension between softness in the curves and firmness in the endings. In longer text, the light weight and smaller x-height give a spacious feel, favoring comfortable leading and moderate sizes for best clarity.
