A delicate, hand-drawn print face with slender strokes, modest thick–thin movement, and a slightly calligraphic logic that shows in tapered terminals and occasional swelling at curves. Proportions are tall and narrow overall, with a notably small x-height and long, fine ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, elegant rhythm. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and stroke endings often feel lightly penned rather than mechanically cut, giving the set an intentionally informal, drawn quality while remaining clean and legible.
Best suited to short text settings where its thin strokes and tall proportions can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, invitations, menus, packaging, and editorial or book-cover typography. It can also work for brief display lines in branding where a personable, handcrafted feel is desired, ideally at moderate to large sizes.
The tone reads whimsical and storybook-like—graceful rather than loud—suggesting charm, gentleness, and a touch of old-fashioned personality. Its tall, airy forms and playful details make it feel friendly and characterful without becoming messy.
The design appears intended to evoke a handwritten, pen-drawn print style with refined thin strokes and a charming, slightly vintage display rhythm. It prioritizes character and elegance over dense text color, using tall forms, small lowercase body, and subtle calligraphic cues to create a distinctive voice.
Uppercase forms carry much of the personality through distinctive silhouettes and looping or hooked details, while the lowercase stays light and restrained, relying on the small x-height and long extenders for texture. Numerals match the same fine, slightly calligraphic construction, keeping the overall color light and open in text.
