A delicate, monoline-leaning sans with gently tapered strokes and sharp, needle-like terminals. Curves are smooth and open, while many joins and endpoints resolve into pointed wedges, creating a crisp, pricked texture throughout. Proportions feel slightly loose and human, with round counters (notably in O, o, and e) contrasted by angular diagonals in V, W, X, and Y. Overall spacing reads clean and even in text, with a light, floating rhythm and consistent stroke finishing across upper- and lowercase.
Best suited to display roles where its sharp terminals and light color can be appreciated—logos, titles, packaging, and poster headlines. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes with adequate line spacing, but the fine, pointed details are most effective when not set too small or too densely.
The pointed terminals and airy construction give the face a whimsical, slightly enchanted tone—playful but not childish. It suggests handmade refinement: light on its feet, a touch quirky, and subtly dramatic in the way strokes end in sharp flicks.
The design appears intended to blend clean sans simplicity with a hand-rendered, calligraphic edge, using tapered, spiky terminals to add personality and sparkle without relying on heavy ornament. The result is a distinctive, airy text color geared toward expressive, attention-getting typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified geometric skeletons with distinctive triangular terminals, while the lowercase softens into more rounded, friendly shapes. Numerals maintain the same tapered finishing, helping headings and short strings feel cohesive rather than purely utilitarian.
