A light, monoline slab-serif with gently bracketed serifs and softly flared terminals that give strokes a hand-tooled finish. Letterforms keep an upright, readable structure while allowing subtle irregularities in curves and joins, creating a lively texture in words. Counters are open and round, with modest, slightly varied proportions across glyphs; curves often end in small hooked or tapered details. Numerals follow the same delicate slab-and-hook logic, with a smooth, looped “8” and a curved, calligraphic “2” and “9” that add personality without overwhelming the page.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where a classic-but-playful voice is desirable. It can also work for boutique packaging and posters, especially when set with generous spacing and moderate sizes to let the fine details and terminals remain clear.
The overall tone feels literary and old-world, like a lightly distressed printing or a careful pen-and-press hybrid. Its gentle quirks and soft terminals read as warm and human rather than strict or technical, lending an inviting, storybook atmosphere.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif dependability with a handcrafted, slightly antiquarian charm. By keeping stroke weight even while adding curled terminals and bracketed serifs, it aims to feel readable and traditional yet noticeably personal.
In paragraph settings the thin strokes and ornamental terminals produce a noticeable sparkle, while the slab serifs help maintain horizontal alignment and word shape recognition. Distinctive capitals (notably the curled “G” and the tailed “Q”) and the expressive lowercase “g” add character that becomes more apparent at display sizes.
