A narrow, high-contrast serif with a delicate, slightly irregular rhythm and prominent flared terminals. Strokes often taper into sharp, wedge-like serifs, giving letters a hand-cut, calligraphic feel rather than a mechanically even construction. Capitals are tall and elegant with airy counters, while the lowercase keeps a compact x-height and thin hairlines that emphasize verticality. Figures are similarly slender and stylized, with noticeable tapering and a lightly idiosyncratic, drawn quality across the set.
Best suited to display typography such as book covers, editorial headlines, posters, and short pull quotes where the spiky serifs and tapered strokes can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a vintage-literary voice, while extended small-size body text may require generous spacing to keep the fine details from feeling busy.
The overall tone feels literary and old-world, with a touch of whimsy from the spiky serifs and subtly uneven detailing. It suggests classic bookish refinement but with an eccentric, storybook edge rather than strict formality. The texture in text is lively and expressive, leaning decorative without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif model with hand-drawn, slightly whimsical construction—tall proportions, sharp flares, and lively tapering used to create a distinctive, storybook-like texture. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over neutral readability, aiming for expressive, editorial impact.
In continuous text the narrow proportions and sharp terminals create a bright, shimmering texture, especially where hairlines and serifs cluster. The italics are not shown; the displayed style reads as a single upright design with consistent, intentionally quirky details that give it personality at display sizes.
