A calligraphic, hand-drawn roman with tapered strokes and small, blade-like terminals that suggest a pointed-pen or brush influence. Letterforms are open and generously spaced, with wide rounds and a light overall color; curves often swell slightly before finishing in sharp flicks. Contrast is moderate and rhythm is smooth, with subtle asymmetry and lively stroke modulation that keeps repeated shapes from feeling mechanical. Numerals follow the same tapered, slightly ornamental construction and maintain an even, readable presence alongside the letters.
Best suited to display use such as titles, book and album covers, boutique branding, invitations, and poster headlines where the tapered terminals and wide proportions can be appreciated. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading and not pushed too small.
The font reads as graceful and slightly theatrical, balancing classic letterform structure with playful, storybook-like flourishes. Its sharp finishing strokes and airy spacing give it a poised, spellbook elegance rather than a casual note-taking feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a formal, calligraphic voice with a touch of whimsy, combining readable roman skeletons with ornamental flicks to create a distinctive, literary display texture.
Uppercase forms show the strongest personality through sweeping curves and pointed entry/exit strokes, while lowercase stays relatively simple for legibility. The overall texture remains clean at text sizes, though the delicate terminals and light strokes are most effective when given enough size and breathing room.
