A very light, monolinear slab serif with unbracketed, squared serifs and frequent tapered or spurred terminals. Strokes stay consistently thin across curves and straights, with open counters and generous internal space that keep the texture bright and breathable. Many glyphs show small calligraphic flicks, pin-like joins, and slightly irregular endpoints, giving the outlines a drawn, lightly distressed precision rather than a strictly geometric finish. Proportions are generally narrow-to-normal with lively width variation across letters, and the figures are slender with simple, open forms.
Well suited to editorial layouts, literary or cultural titles, and refined packaging where a light, distinctive serif can add personality without heavy contrast. It also fits invitations and short-form display settings that benefit from a delicate, whimsical voice; for longer text, it will perform best where printing or rendering can preserve its hairline strokes.
The tone is airy and slightly eccentric, combining a bookish serif structure with playful, handmade details. It reads as gentle and charming rather than formal, with a quiet quirkiness created by the tiny hooks, spur-like serifs, and wiry rhythm.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a slab serif skeleton through an ultra-light, drawn line, using crisp unbracketed serifs and small terminal flourishes to add character while keeping the overall construction readable and upright.
In text, the thin weight and delicate terminals create a light gray value and a somewhat sparkling line, especially where small spurs appear on curves and diagonals. The overall impression is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with decorative details staying subtle enough to remain legible at display-to-text sizes while still feeling characterful.
