A delicate italic serif with a wiry, pen-like construction and pronounced contrast between hairlines and thicker strokes. Serifs are sharp and often wedge-like, with small spikes and tapered terminals that give many letters a slightly barbed silhouette. Curves are narrow and springy, and several glyphs show subtle entry/exit flicks and underturned finishing strokes, creating an animated rhythm across words. The overall color is light and airy, with irregular, hand-drawn inflections that read as intentionally decorative rather than strictly classical.
Best suited for display settings where its spiky serifs and lively italic motion can be appreciated—headlines, titles, book covers, posters, and boutique branding. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or invitations when set with comfortable leading, but its decorative detailing makes it less ideal for dense body copy at small sizes.
The tone feels playful and old-world, like a calligraphic book face that’s been stylized for character. Its sharp serifs and wiry strokes add a slightly mischievous, theatrical edge, while the italic movement keeps it elegant and flowing. Overall it suggests vintage charm with a quirky, illustrative personality.
The design appears intended to merge an italic book-hand sensibility with decorative, sharpened serif forms to create a distinctive, characterful reading voice. It emphasizes personality and rhythm over strict neutrality, aiming for a vintage, storybook presence in editorial and promotional typography.
Spacing appears moderately open for such fine strokes, helping counters stay clear in longer lines, though the pointed terminals and internal flicks add visual texture. Numerals and capitals maintain the same ornamental, tapered logic, reinforcing a cohesive, display-leaning voice across the set.
