A tall, narrow serif with delicate, gently flared stroke endings and a lightly calligraphic feel. Strokes stay relatively even but show subtle swelling and tapering, producing soft, wedged terminals rather than crisp, bracketed serifs. Counters are modest and vertical stress is evident in rounded forms; the rhythm is airy, with narrow letterfit and upright posture. Lowercase features compact bodies with long ascenders and descenders, while capitals are slim and slightly idiosyncratic in their proportions, contributing to an overall hand-drawn regularity.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium reading contexts where its narrow, expressive shapes can add character—such as editorial titles, book covers, cultural posters, and invitations. It can work for text in larger sizes, where the fine strokes and compact lowercase details remain clear.
The font reads as charming and slightly eccentric, with a bookish, storybook tone. Its narrow, spindly silhouettes and flared endings evoke a vintage, handcrafted sensibility—more poetic and illustrative than strictly formal.
Likely designed to offer a serif with a handmade, flared-pen character and a condensed footprint, balancing readability with a distinctive, slightly whimsical voice for literary and decorative typography.
In text, the narrow set and tall extenders create a pronounced vertical texture, with noticeable variation in how wide different letters feel (especially in rounded vs. straight-sided forms). Numerals follow the same slender, lightly flared construction and maintain the font’s delicate, old-style personality.
