A delicate serif design with tall proportions and noticeably narrow letterforms. Strokes are fine and even, with soft, slightly bracketed slab-like serifs that read more rounded than sharp, giving the outlines a gentle finish. Curves are clean and open, and many forms feel lightly calligraphic, with subtle tapering and a rhythmic, hand-drawn steadiness rather than rigid geometry. The lowercase appears relatively small against the ascenders, reinforcing a bookish vertical cadence and leaving plenty of white space inside and between letters.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and display text where a light, cultured impression is desired. It can also work nicely for book covers, invitations, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from a slender, vintage-leaning serif voice. For longer reading, it will generally prefer larger sizes and relaxed line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is refined and airy, with a quietly eccentric, old-world charm. Its slender build and rounded serif endings create a polite, literary voice—more whimsical than formal—suited to expressive, tasteful typography rather than blunt utility.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with a softer, more personable finish—pairing narrow, tall proportions with rounded, bracketed serifs to create an elegant yet characterful display text face.
In the samples, the font maintains an elegant, consistent texture, but its slim strokes and compact lowercase suggest it will look best with comfortable sizes and generous spacing. Numerals share the same narrow, delicate presence, keeping a cohesive, graceful color in mixed text.
