A tall, slender serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and frequent hairline joins that give strokes a reed-like, tapering quality. Serifs are small and often wedge-like or softly bracketed, with occasional flared terminals that add a subtle hand-drawn character. Curves are narrow and verticalized, counters are tight, and many letters show slightly idiosyncratic construction (notably in diagonals and bowls), producing a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric regularity. Lowercase forms sit on a modest x-height with long ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast pattern with delicate curves and thin cross-strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine features, pull quotes, and book or poster titles where its narrow, high-contrast texture becomes a stylistic asset. It can also work for short editorial passages when given enough size and line spacing to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone feels refined and bookish, with a light, slightly eccentric elegance reminiscent of vintage titling and expressive editorial typography. Its thin hairlines and narrow stance create an airy, graceful presence, while the quirky serif and terminal details add a gentle whimsy.
The design appears intended to provide a slender, high-contrast serif option with an expressive, slightly unconventional construction—balancing classic serif cues with decorative, calligraphy-like detailing for distinctive titling and editorial voice.
In longer sample lines, the strong vertical emphasis and tight internal spacing create a distinctive texture that reads as decorative even at text sizes. The light hairlines and sharp contrast suggest it will benefit from comfortable sizing and generous leading to avoid a brittle, crowded appearance.
