A very light, high-clarity serif with slender, nearly monoline strokes and gently rounded corners. The design uses small, soft wedge-like serifs and subtle flaring at stroke ends rather than hard bracketed details, giving the outlines a smooth, drawn feel. Proportions are tall and compact, with narrow letters, open counters, and a calm vertical rhythm; rounded forms (C, O, e) stay circular while straight strokes remain slightly softened. The lowercase shows simple, unforced constructions (single-storey a and g), long ascenders, and understated terminals that keep the texture even in text.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, short editorial passages, invitations, and boutique branding where a light, elegant texture is desired. It can also work for packaging and labels when set with generous tracking and sufficient size to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is light, friendly, and slightly quirky—more lyrical than formal. Its airy stroke weight and softened details create a gentle, contemporary craft feel that reads as approachable and refined without becoming strict or academic.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive serif voice with a hand-touched softness—combining classic letter structures with minimal, rounded detailing to create an elegant yet personable display text face.
At small sizes the hairline strokes may feel fragile, but in larger settings the delicate serifs and rounded joins become a defining feature. Numerals follow the same slim, softly finished construction and sit comfortably alongside the lowercase.
