A stylized, flared sans with dramatic thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes often swell into wedge-like verticals and then pinch to hairline joins, giving letters a sculpted, ribbon-like feel. Curves are smooth and open, with generous inner counters, while horizontals are comparatively delicate; overall spacing reads compact but consistent, with a lively, slightly irregular rhythm between glyphs.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short passages where its distinctive stroke contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for editorial display, branding marks, packaging, and book or event collateral that benefits from a refined, expressive voice.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, blending classic sophistication with a playful, storybook flair. Its sweeping curves and razor-thin transitions create a sense of motion and delicacy, making the text feel ornamental rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive display texture that feels both modern and classically influenced, using calligraphic tapering and flared forms to create memorable letter silhouettes. It prioritizes character and elegance over neutral, text-first functionality.
The numerals and capitals show particularly strong silhouette personality, with prominent swelling strokes and pronounced tapering that can create sparkling texture at larger sizes. In longer lines, the hairline connections and flared stroke endings become a key part of the visual color, so size and contrast of the setting will strongly influence readability.
