A delicate serif with lightly bracketed, flared terminals and a slightly calligraphic stroke feel. The outlines are smooth but not rigidly geometric, with subtle asymmetries and gently irregular curves that create a human, hand-touched rhythm. Capitals are open and rounded (notably C, G, O, Q), while many lowercase forms show tapered joins and soft entry/exit strokes; the ear and terminals often finish in small wedge-like flicks. Numerals follow the same airy construction, mixing straight stems with rounded bowls and modest serifing, giving the set a cohesive, bookish texture.
Works well for book covers, chapter openers, and editorial headlines where a refined-but-whimsical serif can carry tone. It also suits invitations, boutique branding, and pull quotes that benefit from a handcrafted, old-style flavor. Because the strokes are quite delicate, it will be most effective in print or on-screen at comfortable sizes rather than in dense, small UI text.
The overall tone is literary and characterful, leaning toward storybook and vintage ephemera rather than formal editorial classicism. Its lightness and lively terminals give it a friendly, slightly eccentric voice that feels quaint and charming without becoming overtly theatrical.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through a lighter, more calligraphic lens, adding charming terminal details and gentle irregularity to avoid a strictly classical feel. It aims to provide an elegant display and text option with a distinctive, slightly quirky personality for literary and decorative typography.
Texture stays consistent across the alphabet, with a noticeable preference for rounded bowls and softly pointed terminals that create sparkle at larger sizes. In running text, the thin strokes and open counters keep paragraphs light, while the distinctive serif shapes add personality to headings and short phrases.
