This typeface is a narrow, right-leaning serif with medium contrast and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes taper into wedge-like, flared terminals and small bracketed serifs, giving the outlines a carved, slightly irregular feel while remaining consistent across the set. Proportions are compact with a short x-height, lively curves, and occasional asymmetry in joins and terminals that produces an animated rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, slightly springy forms with tapered ends and old-style, handwritten energy rather than rigid geometry.
It performs best as a display serif for titles, headings, and short passages where its quirky modulation and narrow proportions can add character. It is well suited to book covers, packaging, posters, and themed branding that benefits from a whimsical, slightly vintage voice.
The overall tone is playful and story-driven, with a mildly antique, bookish flavor. Its slanted stance and tapered details add a sense of motion and personality, reading as charming and slightly eccentric rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to blend serif tradition with a hand-touched, calligraphic slant, prioritizing personality and rhythmic texture over strict neutrality. Its narrow build and animated terminals suggest it is meant to stand out in titling and expressive editorial settings.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the narrow set width reinforces a vertical, bustling texture in paragraphs. The combination of flared terminals and uneven stroke modulation gives it a decorative edge that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
