A narrow, lightly built serif design with small slab-like feet and wedgey, slightly flared terminals. Strokes feel mostly even but with subtle modulation and roughened edges, giving the outlines a gently imperfect, hand-rendered texture. Proportions are tall and condensed, with a relatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that add vertical elegance. Counters are open and simple, while joins and endings show intentional quirks—tiny nicks, hooks, and uneven stroke taper—that create an animated texture across lines.
Well suited to display roles where character matters: book covers, packaging, posters, and distinctive branding. It can also work for short passages or captions when generous spacing and size are used to preserve clarity and let the textured details read cleanly.
The overall tone is playful and informal, with a lightly eccentric, handmade character. It suggests a bookish, slightly vintage personality—more charming than strict—making text feel approachable and a bit whimsical.
Likely intended to deliver a readable serif voice with deliberate handcrafted irregularity—combining condensed proportions and slab-like hints with playful terminals for a distinctive, personable look.
In running text the narrow set and lively terminals create a distinct rhythm, with noticeable sparkle from the sharp serifs and varied ending shapes. The figures match the same spindly construction and understated irregularity, blending naturally with the letterforms.
