A delicate, hairline serif with tall, narrow proportions and a lightly irregular rhythm. Strokes are thin with modest contrast and frequent tapered terminals, giving many forms a spidery, drawn quality rather than a rigid, mechanical one. Serifs are small and sharp, often wedge-like, and curves tend to be tight and vertical, producing an overall condensed, columnar texture. Numerals and capitals follow the same slender construction, with open counters and a lightly springy baseline/curve behavior that reads as intentionally quirky.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, book covers, posters, and identity work where its slender silhouette and quirky serif details can be appreciated. It can also work for invitations, chapter openers, pull quotes, and short captions when set with comfortable line spacing and sufficient size.
The font conveys a quirky, storybook tone—refined enough to feel literary, but idiosyncratic enough to feel playful and slightly uncanny. Its narrow, wispy build suggests elegance at a whisper rather than authority, leaning toward theatrical or magical vibes rather than formal editorial neutrality.
The design appears intended to offer a distinctive, decorative serif voice: narrow, airy, and characterful, with just enough irregularity and tapering to feel hand-influenced and expressive rather than purely classical.
Spacing appears tight and the overall color is very light, so the type tends to read best when given room (larger sizes, generous leading, and modest tracking). The condensed shapes create strong vertical emphasis, which can make long passages feel busy, but can be striking in short bursts.
