A delicate, high-contrast serif with an italic, calligraphic construction and pronounced hairlines. Strokes taper frequently into needle-like terminals, with small, sharp serifs and occasional flicks that read as pen-driven rather than mechanically uniform. Curves are open and flowing, counters stay generous, and the overall rhythm feels light and quick, with slightly varied stroke behavior that gives characters a lively, drawn quality.
Best suited to display sizes where the fine hairlines and tapered terminals can stay crisp—headlines, pull quotes, cover typography, invitations, and boutique branding. It can work for short passages in calm layouts, but the very delicate detailing will be most effective when given generous size and spacing.
The tone is refined but playful—more poetic than formal—mixing bookish elegance with a subtle sketch-like spontaneity. It suggests a lightly romantic, storybook voice rather than a rigid editorial one, and feels at home in expressive, curated settings.
Likely designed to deliver an elegant italic serif voice with a personal, hand-touched finish—combining classical contrast and vertical stress with gestural terminals to create a distinctive, literary display texture.
Capitals show graceful, sweeping curves (notably in C, G, Q) and slender verticals, while many joins and terminals end in fine hooks or tapered points. Numerals keep the same airy contrast and simplified, handwritten finish, maintaining consistency with the letterforms.
