A narrow, hand-drawn serif with lively, slightly uneven stroke behavior and crisp, spiky wedge terminals. The forms keep a consistent overall construction but show subtle irregularities in curves and joins that read as pen-drawn rather than mechanically rigid. Serifs are thin and sharp, with occasional asymmetric flares and tapered ends; round letters have open counters and a lightly compressed footprint. Numerals and capitals maintain the same slender vertical emphasis, giving text a compact, high-contrast-in-places texture without looking formal or engraved.
Works well for display typography where character and voice matter—book covers, magazine/editorial headlines, posters, and short pull quotes. It also suits boutique branding and packaging that benefits from a handcrafted, slightly vintage feel. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at moderate sizes with generous leading to preserve the sharp serif detail.
The tone feels quirky and literary, like an expressive book face that has been sketched by hand. Its sharp serifs and narrow proportions add a slightly dramatic, old-world flavor, while the gentle inconsistencies keep it approachable and informal. Overall it suggests whimsical storytelling, curious ephemera, or boutique craft labeling rather than corporate polish.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif cues with a deliberately hand-rendered irregularity, offering a readable but personality-forward texture. Its narrow build and pointed terminals seem aimed at creating dramatic, compact headlines and distinctive word shapes while retaining familiar serif structure.
In the sample text, the rhythm is intentionally uneven: some letters lean into sharper angles and others soften into rounded bowls, creating a lively color across lines. The ampersand and several capitals show especially distinctive, idiosyncratic shapes that can become a focal point in display settings. At smaller sizes, the fine serifs and tapered joins may require adequate resolution and spacing to stay clear.
