A delicate serif face with tall proportions and a noticeably narrow set. Strokes are generally even in weight with minimal modulation, and terminals often finish in small flares or fine, wedge-like serifs rather than heavy brackets. Curves are slightly pinched and organic, giving bowls and counters a lively, hand-influenced feel. The rhythm is vertical and airy, with ample white space and an overall slender texture in continuous text.
Well suited to titles, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its tall, refined silhouette can create a sophisticated presence without heavy weight. It can also work for invitations or cultural materials that benefit from a literary, slightly whimsical serif voice.
The tone mixes classical bookish refinement with an idiosyncratic, slightly storybook twist. Its thin, elongated forms feel graceful and poised, while the unusual curves and terminals add a subtle eccentricity that keeps it from reading as purely traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined serif impression with added character through narrow proportions, delicate serifs, and subtly unconventional curves. It prioritizes an airy, elegant texture and a distinctive display personality over neutral, utilitarian plainness.
In the samples, the narrow width and fine detailing make the font feel most comfortable at moderate to larger sizes, where the distinctive curves and flared finishes remain clear. Numerals follow the same slim, lightly ornamented logic, contributing to a cohesive, elegant color on the page.
