A condensed serif with tall proportions, smooth bracketed serifs, and gently rounded terminals. Strokes stay fairly even, with only subtle modulation, giving the letters a steady, low-drama color while still feeling drawn rather than mechanical. Many capitals are narrow and vertical, while the lowercase shows slightly quirky, softened shapes and a lively baseline rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, old-style spirit, with curvy forms and modest contrast that keeps them cohesive in text.
Works well for editorial typography, book or long-form text where a condensed serif can save space without becoming stark. Its personality also suits packaging, posters, and display headlines that want a vintage, literary flavor while remaining readable.
The overall tone is vintage and bookish, with a lightly playful, storybook character. It feels friendly and approachable rather than formal, suggesting a classic editorial voice with a hint of whimsy.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience in a tighter footprint, while introducing gentle, hand-influenced quirks for warmth and memorability. It balances classic structure with softened detailing to stay legible and distinctive in both text and larger settings.
The narrow set width and tall ascenders create an economical line while maintaining clear word shapes. The design’s softened corners and curved details add personality, making it feel less rigid than many conventional text serifs.
