A very slender, condensed serif with gently flared, slab-like feet and rounded terminals that keep the texture soft rather than rigid. Strokes read largely even and hairline-thin, with subtle modulation and a delicate overall color. Proportions are tall and airy, with narrow bowls and generous vertical emphasis; curves are smooth and lightly sprung, and junctions avoid sharp corners. The lowercase shows a friendly, slightly idiosyncratic rhythm (notably in the single-storey forms and looping descenders), and the numerals echo the same thin, rounded construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short editorial passages where its delicate strokes and quirky shapes can be appreciated. It works well for book covers, poster typography, boutique branding, and invitations or event materials that benefit from a light, characterful serif.
The face feels light, playful, and a bit storybook—more charming than formal. Its narrow, spindly silhouettes and rounded slab details suggest a vintage, eccentric tone that can read as clever or lightly theatrical, especially in display sizes.
The design appears intended to blend a narrow, airy serif structure with softened slab-like terminals to create a distinctive display voice. Its slightly whimsical letterforms suggest an emphasis on personality and charm over strict, text-optimized neutrality.
In text lines the spacing and tall ascenders/descenders create an open, vertical cadence, with distinctive character shapes that stand out in headings and short passages. The thin strokes and narrow counters make it most comfortable where ample size and contrast are available.
