A delicate serif with tall, slender proportions and a lightly drawn, tapered stroke. Serifs are small and often wedge-like, with gentle flaring that reads as pen-influenced rather than mechanical. Curves are narrow and slightly irregular in rhythm, giving the forms a lively, hand-rendered feel while staying generally consistent across the set. Spacing appears open and the overall texture is airy, with distinctive, elongated ascenders and descenders and a modest x-height that keeps lowercase compact.
Well-suited to short-form display settings such as titles, headlines, and pull quotes where its personality can come through. It can work nicely on book covers, posters, and packaging that want a whimsical or vintage-leaning serif, and is most effective at larger sizes rather than dense body copy.
The tone feels whimsical and literary, like a handmade book face or lightly eccentric display serif. Its thin, spidery presence and subtle irregularities create a charming, slightly quirky voice that can suggest vintage ephemera, fantasy, or playful editorial styling.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive, decorative serif voice with a pen-touched, handcrafted rhythm. It prioritizes character and a light, airy texture over neutrality, aiming to add charm and individuality to display typography.
Caps have a narrow, column-like stance with noticeable individuality in shapes like J, Q, and W, helping headlines feel characterful. Numerals follow the same slim, tapered logic and read best when given generous size and breathing room.
