A very slender, right-leaning slab serif with an airy monoline feel and crisp, square-ended serifs. The forms favor long, taperless strokes and a light, open rhythm, punctuated by occasional curly terminals and small swash-like touches (notably in several capitals and descenders). Bowls are generally narrow and oval, joins are clean, and the overall texture stays even despite the decorative flourishes. Numerals keep the same thin stroke weight and include a few looping details that echo the letterforms.
Best suited to display settings where its thin strokes and ornamental terminals can be appreciated: headlines, short quotes, titles, invitations, and boutique brand marks. It can work for brief passages at comfortable sizes, but its delicate construction and decorative details are most effective when given room and contrast against the background.
The tone is light and charming, balancing refined italic movement with playful curls that read as slightly eccentric and hand-touched. It suggests a literary, boutique mood—more fanciful than formal—while still retaining a composed, classical silhouette.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a slab serif skeleton with an elegant italic slant and a sprinkle of whimsical, calligraphic terminals. The goal seems to be an expressive, refined display face that feels literary and handcrafted without becoming a fully connected script.
Flourishes appear selectively rather than everywhere, creating moments of emphasis in words without turning the entire line into script. The italic slant and thin hairline-like strokes make spacing and word shapes feel soft and flowing, while the slab serifs add a subtle structural backbone.
