A compact serif with tall, narrow proportions and gently irregular, inked contours. Strokes show moderate contrast with subtly tapered joins and small bracketed serifs that often flare or hook, giving terminals a slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are lively rather than geometric, with a soft, hand-drawn wobble that keeps counters open while maintaining a tight overall rhythm. Spacing reads on the snug side, reinforcing the condensed texture and vertical emphasis.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where a distinctive, old-style flavor is desired—book covers, chapter heads, pull quotes, posters, labels, and boutique branding. It can also work for editorial settings at comfortable sizes when you want a narrow, characterful serif texture rather than a neutral reading face.
The tone feels storybook and slightly antique, like printed type with a human touch rather than a purely mechanical cut. Its quirky terminals and unevenness add charm and personality, leaning playful and whimsical without becoming chaotic. Overall it suggests a curated, vintage mood with a faintly theatrical or folkloric edge.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif structure with a deliberately handcrafted, slightly irregular finish. By keeping forms narrow and upright while adding flared serifs and lively terminals, it aims to provide a decorative vintage voice that remains legible and coherent in text.
Capitals have a pronounced verticality and modest decorative shaping at stroke ends, while lowercase forms keep a simple, readable skeleton accented by occasional hooked terminals (notably in letters like j, y, and g). Numerals follow the same narrow, lightly embellished approach, with recognizable forms and small serifed details that match the text style.
