A narrow, upright serif with softly bracketed terminals and subtly flared strokes. The letterforms show medium contrast and a slightly “softened” finish: corners are rounded, serifs feel gently bulbous, and curves lean toward egg-shaped bowls rather than perfect geometry. Proportions are compact and vertical, with lively, slightly uneven details that keep the rhythm organic rather than strictly mechanical. Numerals follow the same compact, old-style sensibility, with rounded forms and modest terminal shaping that matches the text color.
Works well for display typography such as headlines, book covers, posters, labels, and branding where a vintage or handcrafted voice is desired. It can also serve for short editorial callouts or pull quotes when you want a warm serif texture without a strictly classical look.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a vintage, hand-set feel that reads as lightly whimsical rather than formal. Its softened serifs and narrow stance suggest an old-time, storybook or craft aesthetic—inviting and a bit quirky, but still clear and structured.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif structure with decorative, softened details to evoke an antique or folk-print character. The narrow proportions and rounded finishing appear intended to create a compact, distinctive voice that stands out in display settings while remaining broadly legible.
The face maintains consistent construction across caps and lowercase while allowing small idiosyncrasies (notably in curved letters and s-like forms) that add charm. The texture in text is moderately dark and even, making it suitable for display sizes while remaining readable in short passages.
