A light, calligraphic print face with tapered strokes and subtle flaring at terminals, giving letters a drawn-with-a-pen feel. Curves are generous and open, with noticeably rounded bowls and slightly irregular modulation that keeps the texture lively. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph—some forms are wide and open while others are compact—creating a gently uneven rhythm typical of hand-rendered lettering. The uppercase has a delicate, display-like presence, while the lowercase stays readable with simple, uncluttered shapes and clear counters; numerals follow the same airy, gently modulated construction.
Works best for display and short-to-medium copy where a handcrafted, refined personality is desired—titles, pull quotes, boutique branding, packaging, invitations, and book or chapter headings. It can also suit longer passages when set at comfortable sizes with generous line spacing to preserve its light, pen-like details.
The overall tone feels elegant but approachable—more storybook and boutique than formal editorial. Its light touch and soft curves read as warm, expressive, and slightly playful, with a refined edge from the crisp joins and controlled stroke endings.
Designed to capture the look of informal pen lettering in a clean, printable form: expressive, slightly idiosyncratic shapes with controlled elegance. The intent appears to be a personable display voice that remains legible while retaining a hand-drawn rhythm.
The design relies on thin strokes and fine terminals, so it benefits from adequate size and breathing room. Spacing and widths feel intentionally varied, which adds charm in short runs and contributes to a distinctive, handcrafted color in text.
