A light serif with crisp, slightly calligraphic construction and bracketed, flared serifs that often taper into pointed terminals. Strokes show gentle modulation and a lively rhythm, with narrow overall proportions and a slightly irregular, hand-influenced feel despite being clearly upright. Curves are clean but not mechanical—round letters like O and C are open and elegant, while diagonals and joins (notably in K, R, and k) have sharp, angular moments. The lowercase combines compact bowls with distinctive details such as a single-storey a, a looped g, and a curled, hook-like t, giving text a decorative texture without becoming ornate.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book and magazine display, and short passages where a refined yet distinctive serif voice is desired. It can also work for boutique branding and invitations where a vintage, literary mood helps differentiate the message, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font reads as bookish and slightly eccentric, combining classical serif cues with playful, characterful quirks. It evokes a vintage, literary tone—polished enough for composed text, but with enough idiosyncratic terminals and hooks to feel whimsical and human.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif proportions with a subtle decorative edge—prioritizing elegance and readability while adding memorable, hand-touched details in terminals and joins. It aims to feel classic at a glance, but reveal a quirky personality in extended reading.
Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through its curled terminals and varied entry/exit strokes. Numerals appear light and elegant, with old-style-like movement in some shapes and a consistent, refined color in running text.
