A narrow serif with gently tapered strokes and subtly flared, wedge-like serifs that feel more carved than engineered. Curves are slightly pinched and stems show mild, humanized irregularity, giving the outlines an organic rhythm. The letterforms keep a clean, upright structure while letting terminals soften and swell in places; round letters stay compact and vertical, and diagonals (like in V/W/X) are crisp but not rigid. Overall spacing and proportions read consistent, with a lightly calligraphic texture rather than strict geometric precision.
Works well for display and short-to-medium passages where personality is desired: book covers, boutique packaging, editorial headlines, and poster typography. It can also support brand wordmarks that want a handcrafted, vintage-leaning voice while remaining legible.
The tone is warm and characterful, suggesting a storybook or folk-printed sensibility. Its narrow proportions and quirky serif details add charm and a touch of antique theatricality without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a hand-touched, decorative finish—delivering a compact, space-saving voice with distinctive flared terminals and a gentle, humanistic texture.
In text, the dark color is even and readable, while the small irregularities add texture that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Numerals match the same tapered, slightly playful construction, keeping the set cohesive.
