This typeface has a delicate, pen-drawn construction with tapered terminals and occasional needle-like entry/exit strokes that give many letters a slightly spiky silhouette. Strokes show subtle swelling through curves and joins, creating a lightly calligraphic rhythm without becoming fully formal or connected. Proportions lean narrow with generous interior space, and round letters stay open and clean, while diagonals and serifs/feet often end in sharp, flicked points. Overall spacing feels even and readable, with a consistent handmade texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
It suits short-to-medium text where a personal, crafted voice is desirable—book or chapter titles, editorial pull quotes, invitations, packaging copy, and boutique branding. The thin strokes and pointed terminals read best at moderate sizes and in clean print or high-contrast digital settings rather than tiny UI text.
The tone is light and expressive, suggesting handwritten notes rendered with a careful, stylish pen. It feels literary and slightly whimsical—more boutique and personal than neutral—while still maintaining enough order to work in extended text. The sharp flicks and slender strokes add a refined, slightly dramatic edge.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of careful hand lettering: consistent enough for paragraph setting, but with visible pen gestures and tapered finishing strokes to preserve personality. It balances legibility with an expressive, slightly calligraphic edge.
Distinctive details include pointed, brush-like terminals on letters such as J, K, V/W, and y, plus a mix of soft curves and crisp angles that keeps the texture lively. The numerals follow the same tapered logic, with elegant, airy shapes and occasional sharp corners that read as intentional pen gestures rather than strict geometry.
