A very slender serif with hairline strokes and gently flared, calligraphy-like terminals that read as soft serifs rather than sharp bracketed ones. Curves are smooth and open, with a generous, airy rhythm and slightly elastic spacing that keeps text feeling light. Many joins and stroke endings finish in small hooks or tapered flicks, giving counters and bowls a lively, hand-touched quality while remaining consistently upright. Numerals and capitals follow the same delicate construction, with occasional ornamental inflections (notably in forms like Q and S) that emphasize a decorative, display-oriented voice.
Best suited to display applications where the delicate details can be appreciated: headlines, short blurbs, book or editorial titles, invitations, and boutique branding or packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when given ample size and whitespace.
The overall tone is elegant and whimsical—more poetic than formal—suggesting vintage titling, literary charm, and boutique refinement. Its thinness and tapered endings convey lightness and grace, while the subtle curls add personality and a hint of fantasy.
The design appears intended to blend a classic serif skeleton with decorative, calligraphic terminals to create an airy, characterful face for expressive typography. It prioritizes elegance and personality over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, ornamental text image in titles and short passages.
The hairline build and fine terminals create a distinctive texture at larger sizes, but the very light stroke weight makes it visually fragile in dense settings. The curled terminals and flared serifs are consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive ornamental identity.
