A light, narrow calligraphic text face with subtly tapered strokes and gently flared, wedge-like terminals. Letterforms lean on clean verticals and rounded bowls, with a consistent pen-like modulation that stays calm rather than dramatic. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, and joins often finish in small flicks that give the outlines a drawn, human cadence. Capitals are relatively tall and open, while lowercase keeps a clear, readable structure with occasional asymmetry and organic stroke endings.
Works well for book and chapter titles, pull quotes, invitations, and editorial display where a handcrafted but legible voice is desired. It can also suit boutique packaging, menus, and short-form branding applications that benefit from a refined, calligraphic texture.
The overall tone feels literary and handcrafted—polished enough for formal passages, but with enough irregular warmth to read as personal and expressive. It suggests classic, slightly antique text setting with a touch of whimsy, lending itself to narrative or ceremonial moods rather than purely utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended to translate formal pen-drawn lettering into a consistent, typeset system—maintaining readable text shapes while preserving the subtle taper, flare, and lively finish of a hand-rendered stroke.
In text, spacing and proportions create an airy, elegant color, with distinctive punctuation and numerals that echo the same tapered-terminal language. The alphabet shows coherent stroke behavior across rounds and diagonals, giving the font a unified rhythm even where individual letters add small, idiosyncratic flourishes.
