A very light, hand-drawn serif with crisp, tapered terminals and occasional spiky, flicked ends that suggest a pen or brush. Strokes show gentle modulation and slight irregularities, giving the letterforms a lively, organic rhythm while remaining largely consistent in construction. Capitals are tall and elegant with open counters (notably in C, G, O, Q), and many forms feature asymmetric details such as angled crossbars and subtly varied serif shapes. The lowercase keeps a readable, traditional skeleton with a compact feel, while numerals mirror the same thin strokes and sharp finishing cuts for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, book or chapter titles, cover typography, invitations, and packaging where a light, handcrafted serif texture can be appreciated. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set large enough to preserve the fine strokes and crisp terminals.
The overall tone feels whimsical and literary—like a contemporary storybook or theatrical program where refinement is tempered by playful, human imperfection. Its spiky touches and airy color add a sense of motion and personality, leaning more charming than formal.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structures with a hand-rendered, slightly theatrical finish—maintaining readability while adding expressive, pen-made details. It aims to deliver a refined-but-human voice that stands out in decorative and editorial display contexts.
In text, the thin strokes and pointed terminals create a delicate page color that benefits from generous sizing and comfortable spacing. Distinctive glyph moments—such as the Q tail, the angled, blade-like joins in V/W, and the lightly calligraphic curves in a/e—add character that reads as intentional drawing rather than strict geometric construction.
