A tall, slender text face with hairline strokes and softly bracketed, slab-like serifs that read as rounded and slightly irregular. Curves are gently swollen and terminals feel softened rather than crisply cut, giving the outlines a lightly hand-rendered rhythm. Proportions are vertically biased with long ascenders/descenders and relatively narrow letterforms, while counters remain open for clarity. The overall texture is light and airy, with modest stroke modulation and a consistent, upright stance across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and display lines where a light, distinctive voice is desired. It can also work for packaging, invitations, and boutique branding when paired with generous spacing and moderate-to-large sizes to preserve its delicate detailing.
The font conveys a playful, storybook tone—delicate and personable rather than formal. Its subtle irregularities and softened details suggest an artisanal, human touch that feels friendly and a bit eccentric, lending charm to short passages and expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to blend the structure of a serifed text face with a hand-drawn softness, offering an expressive alternative to conventional book serifs. Its narrow, vertical proportions and rounded slab-like serifs aim to provide a unique, airy texture that remains readable while adding personality.
Uppercase forms maintain a refined, narrow silhouette, while lowercase shapes add character through gentle curves and occasional idiosyncratic joins. Numerals follow the same tall, lightly drawn construction, keeping the color consistent in mixed text. The spacing and light weight create an elegant, slightly whimsical page texture that benefits from comfortable sizes and ample leading.
