This typeface is a narrow, lightly textured serif with evident calligraphic influence. Strokes show gentle modulation and tapered terminals, with bracketed serifs and slightly uneven contours that create a hand-cut, ink-on-paper feel. Curves are lively rather than geometric, and the rhythm is slightly irregular in a deliberate way, giving the line a softly organic texture. Numerals and lowercase feature occasional curls and hooked finishes, reinforcing the drawn quality while keeping forms recognizable.
It performs well in display settings such as book covers, chapter titles, posters, and packaging where a historical or handcrafted mood is desired. Short to medium passages can work when set with comfortable size and leading, especially for editorial or narrative contexts aiming for a vintage printed feel.
The overall tone feels antiquarian and storybook-like—warm, human, and a touch whimsical. Its subtle irregularities and tapering details evoke historical printing and hand lettering, lending text a charming, crafted character rather than a polished corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend old-style serif structure with a hand-rendered, slightly irregular finish, offering a readable letterform foundation while preserving the personality of pen-drawn or wood-type–like details.
Ascenders are relatively prominent and many terminals end in small flicks, which adds sparkle at display sizes. The narrow set and textured stroke edges can build visible “color” in paragraphs, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect readability.
