A wiry serif with slim stems, bracketed serifs, and a slightly irregular, hand-set rhythm. The letterforms are compact with notably tall ascenders and modest x-height, giving the text a vertical, columnar feel. Curves are tight and slightly pinched, and terminals often end in small wedges or subtle flicks that add personality without becoming flamboyant. In running text, spacing reads a touch uneven in a way that feels intentional, emphasizing a vintage, lightly decorative construction.
This face suits editorial design, book and chapter titles, and short to medium passages where a vintage, slightly idiosyncratic serif texture is desirable. It can also work well for packaging, menus, and pull quotes when you want a quiet classic feel with a hint of charm.
The overall tone is literary and old-world, evoking printed ephemera and classic book typography with a faintly eccentric edge. It feels refined and quiet rather than bold, with enough idiosyncrasy to signal character and mood.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional old-style serif texture with a slimmer, more delicate build and a touch of decorative irregularity. Its proportions and terminals prioritize atmosphere and typographic color over strict neutrality.
Capitals show a restrained, traditional structure, while several lowercase forms (notably the rounded letters and the single-story shapes) introduce gentle quirks that keep the texture lively. Numerals match the same narrow, lightly stylized construction and sit comfortably alongside text.
