A delicate monoline serif with slab-like terminals and a lightly hand-rendered feel. Strokes are consistently thin, with small bracketed feet and modestly flared ends that read as softened slabs rather than sharp wedges. The drawing mixes generous curves (C, G, O, Q) with narrow vertical stems, producing an open but slightly irregular rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and elegant, while the lowercase is compact with a noticeably small x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and simple, lightly cupped serifs that keep the texture even at text sizes.
Works well for display and short text where a refined, vintage-leaning voice is desired—book and chapter titles, poetry layouts, boutique packaging, posters, and invitations. It can also serve for pull quotes or headings when a delicate, crafted serif texture is needed.
The overall tone is quiet, literary, and gently eccentric—like an old printed pamphlet or a lightly inked pen drawing. Its thin strokes and subtle irregularities give it an intimate, crafted character rather than a rigidly industrial one.
Likely designed to provide a monoline slab-serif impression with a human, lightly imperfect drawing, balancing readability with a distinctive, antique-tinged personality for editorial and decorative typography.
Numerals are similarly light and slightly stylized, with round, open bowls (0, 8, 9) and a simple, narrow 1. Counters stay fairly open, and the small finishing strokes create a faintly decorative sparkle without becoming ornate.
