A lightly built serif with gently modulated strokes and a slightly calligraphic, hand-set rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed, with occasional flaring and tapered terminals that keep the forms crisp without becoming rigid. Proportions feel compact in the lowercase with a notably low x-height and relatively tall ascenders, while capitals are narrow and elegant with open, rounded bowls. Curves show a subtle liveliness—especially in letters like a, g, and y—giving the face a decorative edge while remaining coherent across text.
Well-suited for book and magazine applications where a classic, slightly decorative serif can add character to headings, deck lines, and pull quotes. It also fits invitations, packaging, and boutique branding that want a traditional voice without looking strictly formal. For longer passages, it performs best with generous spacing and moderate sizes to preserve clarity in the smaller lowercase.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking an old-style printed page with a touch of eccentric charm. It reads as refined rather than formal, with slight irregularities in stroke endings and curves that add warmth and personality. The impression is poised and traditional, yet playful enough to feel distinctive in display settings.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif construction with subtle, decorative terminal behavior to create a distinctive yet readable voice. It aims for an old-style, print-inspired texture while adding just enough idiosyncrasy in curves and joins to stand out in titles and short text.
Figures are slender and old-style in spirit, with rounded forms and light presence that pair naturally with the delicate punctuation and long, airy extenders. In the sample text, the type maintains a consistent color but benefits from comfortable sizing and leading to avoid a crowded feel given the low x-height.
