A narrow, calligraphic hand with tapered strokes and a lightly brush-driven texture. Letterforms are mostly upright with gently irregular widths and flowing terminals that flick into small hooks and curls. Contrast is noticeable through pointed entries/exits and slight swelling on curves, while counters stay open and rounded for readability. Capitals are expressive and occasionally decorative, with enlarged curves and sweeping tails that add rhythm without connecting letters.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its calligraphic personality can be appreciated—book covers, chapter openers, posters, packaging labels, invitations, and pull quotes. It can work in longer passages at comfortable sizes, especially where a literary or handcrafted tone is desired.
The overall tone feels whimsical and storybook-like, with a lightly antique, human touch. Its lively terminals and uneven rhythm suggest hand lettering meant to feel charming and slightly theatrical rather than strict or modern.
The design appears intended to translate formal pen-calligraphy into a friendly, legible handwritten style, emphasizing narrow proportions, graceful terminals, and expressive capitals for distinctive headings and characterful text.
Spacing appears relatively airy for such narrow forms, helping the flourishes breathe in text. Ascenders are tall and slender, and the figures follow the same tapered, calligraphic logic with simple, readable shapes.
