A wiry, high-waisted serif with tall lowercase proportions and a distinctly narrow footprint. Strokes feel lightly tensioned, with gentle swelling into flared, wedge-like terminals rather than heavy bracketed serifs. The letterforms show an intentionally irregular, hand-drawn rhythm: stems subtly lean and wobble, curves are slightly off-round, and spacing varies just enough to keep the texture lively. Uppercase forms are tall and slender with long vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains strong verticality and compact counters; numerals match the same thin, slightly quirky construction.
Best suited for display settings such as titles, pull quotes, and short editorial headings where its quirky rhythm can be appreciated. It can also work for boutique branding and packaging that benefits from a handcrafted, storybook feel, while longer body text may require generous size and leading to maintain clarity.
The overall tone reads playful and literary, with a slightly eccentric, old-time charm. Its uneven, hand-made cadence suggests personality over neutrality, lending a friendly, idiosyncratic voice that feels at home in imaginative or character-driven settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a decorative serif voice that feels hand-rendered and characterful, prioritizing personality, vertical elegance, and a playful rhythm over strict geometric consistency. Its narrow construction and flared terminals aim to create a distinctive, memorable texture in headlines and brand marks.
Distinctive flared terminals and narrow counters create a crisp, spindly color on the page, especially in mixed-case text. The punctuation and figures shown follow the same narrow, lightly irregular style, supporting cohesive display use and short passages where texture and character are desired.
