A light, calligraphic display face with narrow proportions and a gently modulated stroke. Letterforms are upright with a hand-drawn rhythm, showing tapered terminals, subtle swelling, and occasional teardrop-like endings. Capitals feature prominent curls and looped details (notably in letters like B, D, Q, and R), while the lowercase is simpler but retains soft hooks on ascenders/descenders and a compact, short x-height. Numerals follow the same delicate, slightly quirky construction, with occasional curled terminals and a lively baseline feel.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where its curls and terminals can be appreciated—such as headlines, book covers, invitations, packaging, and themed posters. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers when paired with a calmer text companion.
The overall tone is whimsical and storybook-like, blending formal calligraphic cues with a playful, slightly mischievous personality. Its decorative swashes and curled terminals give it an old-world charm that feels friendly rather than austere.
The design appears intended to evoke a handcrafted calligraphic look with decorative flourishes, providing a distinctive, characterful option for expressive branding and editorial titling. It emphasizes charm and personality over strict regularity, using swashes and tapered strokes to create a lively silhouette.
Stroke behavior is consistent enough to read as a cohesive set, but the intentionally irregular, drawn quality keeps it from feeling rigid or mechanical. The most expressive moments are concentrated in the uppercase and select glyphs, which adds contrast between headline initials and surrounding text.
