A slender, right-leaning calligraphic hand with crisp, pointed terminals and tapered strokes that suggest a flexible nib or brush. Letterforms show lively, slightly irregular rhythm and variable widths, with modest stroke contrast and frequent hairline exits that sharpen into spur-like serifs. Capitals are tall and narrow with decorative entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase keeps a compact body and an airy, open texture; counters stay clear and the overall spacing reads light and quick.
Best suited to display settings where its narrow, calligraphic texture can be appreciated—book and chapter titles, pull quotes, invitations, boutique packaging, and branded wordmarks. It can work for short editorial lines or captions when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The font conveys a refined, storybook sensibility—formal enough to feel classic, but with enough handmade movement to stay personable and expressive. Its pointed terminals and brisk slant add energy, giving text a slightly dramatic, poetic tone.
Likely designed to emulate an elegant, fast calligraphic hand in a clean, reproducible form, balancing traditional pen-flourish cues with readable, consistent letter construction for modern display typography.
Figures are slim and lightly styled, matching the letterforms with tapered turns and minimal ornament. The alphabet shows consistent stroke behavior across cases, and the narrow proportions create a delicate vertical emphasis that becomes especially distinctive in titles and short lines.
