A narrow serif with gently flared, bracketed serifs and softly rounded terminals that create a slightly hand-cut, inked feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with subtly swelling verticals and tapered joins, and many letters include small hooks or bulb-like ends that keep the texture lively. Curves are open and a bit irregular in a controlled way, producing an organic rhythm rather than strict geometric repeatability. Numerals follow the same soft, oldstyle-influenced construction, with rounded forms and mild eccentricities that match the text color.
Well suited to book covers, editorial headlines, and short-to-medium text passages where personality is welcome. It also fits packaging, café/retail branding, invitations, and posters that benefit from a handcrafted vintage tone while retaining clear letterforms.
The overall tone is warm and whimsical, evoking storybook and vintage print sensibilities. Its soft serifs and gently quirky details feel approachable and human, lending a light, imaginative character without becoming overly playful or chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with an intentionally idiosyncratic, hand-inked finish. It aims to balance readability with character, creating a charming, old-world atmosphere for display and expressive text use.
In paragraph settings the font builds a distinctive, slightly wavy texture where rounded terminals and small spur-like details become part of the voice. The narrow proportions help it pack words tightly, while the moderate contrast and open counters keep it readable at display-to-text crossover sizes.
