A delicate serif with slender strokes and gently modulated contrast, featuring sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms favor broad, open bowls and smooth, calligraphic curves, with a slightly lively baseline rhythm created by asymmetric joins and softly varied stroke endings. Uppercase forms read stately and spacious, while the lowercase shows more personality—noticeable in the single-storey a, the long, descending j, and the curved, sweeping tails on letters like g and q. Numerals are light and elegant, with rounded forms and fine finishing strokes that match the text face’s tapered detailing.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book jackets, and literary branding where a light, elegant serif can set a cultured tone. It also works nicely for invitations, pull quotes, and short display lines that benefit from its tapered detailing and graceful curves. For best results, give it generous size and spacing so the fine terminals and airy counters remain clear.
The overall tone feels bookish and classical, with a refined, old-style charm. Its tapered serifs and gently quirky details add a faintly whimsical, storybook quality without tipping into overt novelty. The texture is airy and graceful, conveying sophistication and a handcrafted sensibility.
Likely designed to evoke an old-style, calligraphy-influenced serif tradition while adding distinctive, decorative terminals and slightly playful lowercase behavior. The intention appears to be an elegant reading and display face with a recognizable, crafted character rather than a strictly neutral text workhorse.
In text, the wide counters and open apertures help maintain clarity, while the very fine hairlines and pointed terminals create a crisp, ornamental sparkle. The design’s personality is most evident in curved descenders and the slightly idiosyncratic shaping of some lowercase forms, which can become a defining stylistic feature in display sizes.
