A lively calligraphic serif with gently flared strokes and frequent curled terminals. Letterforms show a mix of crisp, tapered joins and soft, looped entry/exit strokes, giving the set a drawn, pen-like rhythm while remaining unconnected. Proportions favor prominent ascenders and descenders, and many capitals feature extended swashes or hooked strokes that create distinctive silhouettes. Round letters keep open counters and a slightly irregular, human cadence, while numerals echo the same curled finishing strokes for a consistent texture in mixed setting.
Well suited to display typography such as book and chapter titles, event and wedding stationery, boutique branding, and decorative packaging. It works best where its curled terminals and swashed capitals have room to breathe, and where a charming, handcrafted tone is desired.
The overall tone is playful and literary, combining a formal calligraphic base with whimsical flourishes. It feels quaint and characterful rather than rigid, lending a friendly, slightly vintage charm to headlines and short lines of text.
The design appears intended to evoke formal pen lettering with an approachable, imaginative twist, using consistent curled terminals and selective swashes to create a distinctive, decorative voice for display settings.
Capitals tend to carry the most ornament, with pronounced hooks and curved spur details that can affect spacing in tight settings. The lowercase maintains a steadier rhythm, but the repeated curls and long extenders add visual movement that becomes more prominent at larger sizes.
