A hairline, strongly slanted italic with a slightly irregular, calligraphic construction. Strokes stay extremely thin with gentle modulation, giving letters a spidery, floating presence; terminals are tapered and often finish in subtle hooks or flicks. The uppercase mixes classical serif-like skeletons with playful departures (notably in diagonals and joins), while the lowercase leans more cursive in rhythm, with open bowls, long ascenders/descenders, and occasional looped forms. Spacing and widths feel varied, contributing to an intentionally uneven cadence across words.
Best suited to display settings where its fragile hairlines and quirky rhythm can be appreciated—posters, editorial headlines, book or album covers, event invitations, and short brand phrases. It will be most effective at larger sizes with generous tracking and strong contrast against the background.
The overall tone is whimsical and lightly theatrical—delicate rather than loud, but unmistakably oddball in its proportions and stroke behavior. It reads like an elegant handwritten note that’s been stylized into something more eccentric and design-forward.
The design appears intended to fuse an elegant italic tradition with deliberately unconventional detailing, creating a signature, one-off voice for expressive typography. Its narrow, airy forms prioritize character and motion over neutrality.
In text, the extreme thinness and angled stance create a shimmering texture with pronounced diagonal flow. Distinctive letterforms (such as the looped descenders and the sharply angled V/W/X constructions) add personality, but also make the face feel more suited to display than extended reading.
