A light, airy serif with gently bracketed slab-like serifs and subtly rounded corners throughout. Strokes read close to monoline, with minimal contrast and an overall tidy, upright stance. Proportions lean tall and slightly condensed, with a noticeably modest x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and open, rounded counters. Terminals and joins feel softened rather than sharp, creating a smooth rhythm in text while keeping clear letterform structure.
Well suited to editorial settings where a light, distinctive serif can add character—book jackets, pull quotes, headings, and short passages. It also fits invitations, boutique packaging, and brand identities seeking a gentle, vintage-leaning voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the delicate details stay crisp.
The tone is bookish and slightly whimsical, evoking a quiet vintage charm without feeling overly formal. Its soft edges and spindly build give it a friendly, handcrafted flavor—more storybook than corporate—while remaining calm and readable.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif sturdiness with softened, rounded finishing, producing a personable text serif with a restrained, old-style cadence. Its proportions and light color suggest a focus on elegance and atmosphere over assertive impact.
Capitals have a poised, classical feel, while the lowercase introduces more personality through its small x-height and springy vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same light, rounded treatment and appear consistent in color with the alphabet, suiting both text and incidental display use.
