A delicate italic slab serif with spidery, lightly modulated strokes and a lively handwritten rhythm. Serifs read as small, square-ended slabs that often feel like flicked terminals, giving many letters a slightly irregular, ink-on-paper character. Proportions are compact and upright-leaning with long ascenders and descenders, open counters, and narrow joins that keep the texture light. Capitals are slender and somewhat angular, while lowercase forms show expressive entry/exit strokes and varied terminal shapes; numerals follow the same airy, slightly quirky construction.
Works well for book covers, chapter openers, pull quotes, and editorial headings where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also suit invitations or short-form branding that benefits from a handcrafted, slightly eccentric refinement, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a literary, editorial tone with a touch of whimsy—poised and refined, yet intentionally imperfect and human. Its light color and animated slant suggest something personal and expressive rather than corporate or rigid.
The design appears intended to blend a classic italic reading feel with slab-serif structure, adding quirky, hand-rendered terminals to create a distinctive, lightweight display text face. The goal seems to be expressive sophistication—more characterful than a conventional text italic while still retaining familiar serif letter anatomy.
Texture is notably animated: terminals curl, hooks appear on letters like j, y, and g, and strokes sometimes taper into fine points, which can add charm at display sizes but may read fragile when set too small. Spacing feels generous for such narrow forms, helping maintain clarity in longer lines of italic text.
