This serif has slender stems with gently modulated stroke weight and small, bracketed serifs that often end in slight spurs or flares. The letterforms feel drawn rather than engineered: curves are soft and occasionally asymmetrical, terminals vary between teardrop-like and tapered finishes, and joins have a subtly calligraphic bounce. Proportions are compact with relatively small lowercase bodies and tall ascenders, while caps stay refined rather than monumental. Figures follow the same organic construction, with a light, slightly quirky rhythm that reads clearly at display sizes.
It suits display and short-to-medium passages where a literary, handcrafted atmosphere is desirable—such as book covers, editorial headlines, boutique packaging, and invitations. In longer settings it works best when set with generous size and leading to preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is bookish and old-world, with a playful, storybook personality. Its imperfect, hand-touched details suggest charm and warmth rather than strict formality, making text feel narrative and characterful.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic serif tradition through light modulation and bracketed serifs, while introducing subtle irregularities and expressive terminals for a more human, narrative feel.
Spacing appears intentionally airy, helping the delicate serifs and fine joins avoid clogging. Several shapes (notably in the lowercase and the numerals) lean into distinctive, slightly eccentric terminals, giving the face a recognizable voice without becoming overly ornamental.
